The most EXTRAORDINARY EXHIBITION of ABORIGINES EVER SEEN in EUROPE, landed in Liverpool by the brig Fanny, Captain Wheeler, and will be EXHIBITED, for the first time, at the EGYPTIAN HALL, Piccadilly, on THURSDAY. TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN, and a BABY, of the BOSJESMAN or BUSH TRIBE, from the interior of South Africa, a race that, from their wild habits, could never before be induced to visit a place of civilization. This opportunity of gratifying the man of science and the student in zoology has only been obtained by great personal exertion on the part of the gentlemen who hive brought them to England, at an immense outlay of capital. On the passage to Europe a baby was born at sea, thus adding to the great interest that must be excited by their appearance. From the Liverpool Journal : —" Bosjesmans, or Bush People, from Southern Africa—lnteresting specimens of a most extraordinary race of human beings have been landed in our port ; they are the Bosjes mans, or Bush People from the Interior of South Africa, of which so mach has been written by the missionaries, and the few who have travelled to that far distant region. They arc natives of the country bordering the Great Orange River, 1,200 or 1,400 miles from Cape Town. They exhibit almost as striking an absence of the intellectual or higher faculties as is observable in the skull of that mockery of humanity, the Baboon, while the preponderance of the animal is al most equally as'great. In every respect they aro calculated to excite the greatest astonishment, and to confirm to the full those " Tales of Travellers" which we have certainly been inclined to look upon with suspicion. We could scarcely have credited that such a race could be in existence on the earth. That they are genuine no one can doubt ; in proof of which we give the following extract from a Caps Town l'aper of the 24th December, which we have just re • ceived :—" We understand the bri; Fanny, Captain Wheeler, which recently left Table Bay for Liverpool, had on board an unusual kind of exportation, viz., two males and two females of the genuine Bush man species; they are in charge of a Mr. J. G. R. Bishop, who has been at considerable trouble and expense in procuring them n.om the interior. They are authentic specimens of this diminutive and ra pidly decreasing tribe of Aborigines, found only in Southern Africa. For particulars of the habits and disposition of the Bosjesmans, see Professor Leichtensteln's, Barchell's, Campbell's, Backhouse's, Methune's, and Moffatt's Travels in South Africa.

PROSPECTUS.__ When we look to the vast population, and consider the eminence, the trade, the enterprise, the great manufacturing and commercial interests of this metropolis, it becomes a matter of no little surprise that the most active means have not, long since, been taken to ob tain a better supply of water, and to get rid of the mud-and-water monopoly which has so grievously existed for many years past. The subject is one upon which so much has been said, and such universal complaints made, that it is altogether unnecessary to dilate upon the crying evil, or to offer a single remark beyond that which is rendered so self-evident to every disinterested and dispas• sionate mind. Of the eight companies supplying London with water, the New River is the most extensive. It was constructed by Sir Hugh Middleton, at an expense of about 150,0001. When, in 1834, the public were much excited in consequence of the bad water supplied, a Parliamentary inquiry on the subject took place, and Commis sioners were appointed. From the evidence then given it speared that the capital invested by the New River Company was 1,116,9641., by the other Companies 2,127,5951., making a total of 3,224,5591. Although the New River Company paid an enormous bonus (300 per cent. on the paid-up capital) yearly to the shareholders, there was a balance of 157,2061. 10s. 6d. remaining, which is more than the ori ginal cost of construction. The average number of houses supplied in 1834, accordiuc to the minutes of evidence, was 196,492, at the annual value of 276,2001., about 11. 10s. yearly per house. Pure water can be supplied for one-third that sum, and leave a profit, to the capitalist who invests in this speculation, more enormous than that of the New River Company. hence the opportunity has presented itself for the formation of a Company for the supply of pure water at an inconsiderable outlay, and upon those sure and unerring principles of Artesian Springs which have been so generally adopted on the Continent—unfailing and successfully established to the satisfaction of the most sceptical Individuals. With reference to supplying London with pure spring water, let it be undersiood, that the surface of chalk on which London is built re ceives and retains rain on an average of twenty-one inches per an num. This chalk-bed or basin has an extent of 12,000 square miles. Each square mile contains, allowing one-third for evaporation, no less than 3,205,228 hogsheads of water per annum, or on a hundred square miles, one-twelfth of the surface, 320,822,800 hogsheads. The snpply of water last year by the different companies was 314,553,012 hogs heads. Thus the London bed is capable of supplying mere than twelve times the quantity needed, sufficient for all the towns in Great Britain and Ireland. So certain and conclusive have been the experiments tried, that the most successful result has attended every Instance in procuring water upon the principle stated. The metal pipes, as now used by the London Water Companies will net be adopted by the United Kingdom Artesian Water Com pany. Glass, and some such tubes as cannot be corroded, will only be in use. The recent repeal of the duty on glass and porcelain make such pipes cheaper than metal. . Shareholders shall be protected from all responsibility beyond the actual amount of shares taken. All applications for Shares must be addressed to the Secretary of the United Kingdom Artesian Water Company, at the Office, East India Chambers, Leadenhall-street, City, London. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. Sir,—l hereby request you to allot me Shares of 101. each in the United Kingdom Artesian Water Company ; and I gua rantee to pay, when called on, a deposit of is. 6d. per Share for such Shares, or any lesser number that you may allot to me, and to sign the deed of partnership when necessary.

On Tuesday letters were received at the War-office, communicating intelligence of the loss of this transport ship, Captain Champion, commander, nearly 800 tons burthen, with troops on board, at Avoca Bay, near Sydney. The ship was chartered and sailed from Gravesend on the 21st of September last, for Hobart Town and Sydney. Her passengers, Lieut.-Colonel Gold, 65th Regiment ; Lady Gold and four children ; Captain Wilson, of the 96th Regiment; Captain Gregg, of the 69th; Lieut. Elves, 69th; Ensign Cameron, 11th; Assistant-Surgeon Clifford. Sixteen sergeants, 45 rank and file, 51 women, and 79 children, of the 65th Regi ment; 47 rank and file, one woman, and one child of the 11th Regiment; 21 rank and file of the 58th Regiment, 87 rank and file of the 99th Regiment, and one rank and file of the 96th Regiment, amounting in the whole to nearly 400. The ship arrived at Hobart Town on the 21st of December, and having disembarked some of the troops proceeded to Auckland, and was on her way to Sydney when the unfortunate accident took place on Sunday, the 17th of January, at Avoca Bay, about 50 miles from Sydney Roads. It appears that the weather became extremely thick, and the captain being led to think himself in the lati tude of Sydney, had the ship steered accordingly, when suddenly they found themselves amongst breakers, and had no other resource to save the lives of those on board but to run the vessel on shore. The beach was sandy, and all hands escaped, and a considerable portion of the stores and luggage was also saved. By the last accounts received the troops still remained encamped on the shore, but would forthwith be removed to Sydney, whither news of the disaster had been brought by a steamer which was passing off the coast. The ship belongs to the Messrs. Greenwell, cf London. She was going to pieces, but it is thought that she was fully in sured. No blame attaches to the captain. IiIUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS. PRAGUE, MAY 6 —Letters of this date contain reports of the disturbances in consequence of the high price of provisions on the frontiers of Bohemia, towards Saxony and Bavaria. Among other places in Karlibad and Tep litz, after the 7th of April, the exportation of corn to Saxony and Bavaria is prohibited. HA:anuncli.—The railway from Hanover to Stras burgh has just been opened. The train, which left Brunswick at half past eight in the morning, arrived at Harbury about three o'clock, and at half-past rola the passengers had reached the harbour of Hamburgh. BRUSSELS, MAY 13.—0 n Tuesday evening several groups of disorderly persons were formed. Five young men were arrested, about half -past ten the mounted gendarmes cleared the square of the Town-hall, and the neighbouring streets, and the mob dispersed without offering any resistance. Patrols were in motion till eleven at night, and at two in the morning some companies of artillery and civic guards perambulated the streets. Perfect tranquillity now prevails. The gendarmes both on foot and horseback are stationed in the courtyard of the Town-hall. Some threats having been uttered against a corn merchant, attracted the attention of the authorities, and caused them to exercise great vigilance. THE HAGUE, MAY 12.—1 n the sitting of the second Chamber of the States-General to-day, the general discussion took place on the project of law for com • piecing the Ways and Means for 1845, and on that tor granting an extraordinary contribution in money to the Benevolent Society, and the debate on the first pro ject was fixed for Friday next, and that on the second after the conclusion of the discussion of the first. While accounts from all parts of Europe complain of the dearness of provisions, and the consequent distress ; yet we hear from all the same places that the appearance of the crops is most favourable, that the next harvest in Bel gium and the north of France, in England and Ireland, in the north-west of Germany, and in Holland will pro bably be extremely productive, Jo that the fears of a re markably late harvest which were entertained for some time begin to be dispelled; but in the east of France the wet weather appears to have an unfavourable effect. — Dutch papers, May 15th. BRUSSELS, MAY 15.—The Burgomaster of the City of Brussels, has just published the following decree. Desiring to put an end to the tumultuous assemblies which have appeared during the last few days in some parts of the city, and to prevent every attack on the property of the inhabitants. Seeing article 94 of the Commune Law, it is decreed-- " Art. 1. Every assemblage of more than five persons in the public streets, is prohibited. Art. 2. Persons who have assembled contrary to the preceding regulations, must retire at the first injunction of the agents of the authorities ; in case of refusal, they will be obliged by force, and will i ncur the penalties threatened by Arts. 479 and 480. " Art. 3. The present decree shall be binding imme diately after publication. Copies shall be immediately sent to the Governor of the Province and to the Secre taries of the Tribunals of the First Instance and of Brussels. The Burgomaster Chevalier WYNS. Brussels, May 13." We received on Wednesday evening a letter from Liege, with some particulars relative to the situation of General Charzal which confirms the statement that the General had his ribs o❑ one side broken, and sustained contusions on several parts of his body, considerable ap prehension was felt the preceding evening, but they were much allayed, for he passed a much better night than could have been expected, and the surgeons hope, not only that there is no imminent danger, but that the patient, when once cured, will hardly have any trace remaining of the fracture. The growing crops about Mons present the finest ap pearance—the wheat is beautiful ; the rye, which has suffered by the unfavourable weather and cold in April, begins to recover, and it is even in ear ; barley and oats look well. As for the clover, it wants abundant rain. The following is an extract from a report of the Agricultural Committee of West Flanders : " The appearance of the crops is in general very satisfactory. The wheat especially is remarkably fine. The cold and dry weather which we had for some time checked the growth of the corn ; and in the present state of things it might be expected that the harvest might be sixteen days or a fortnight later than usual ; but it is pos sible that, by the favour of propitious temperature, the growth of the corn may be sufficiently rapid greatly to reduce the delay. The corn has now to pass one criti( al period, that of the flowering. On the whole, we do not see any gene• rally prevailing cause calculated to diminish the hopes of an abundant harvest. BRUSSELS, MAY 15. —The King received at Cologne, on Friday evening, the news of the accident on the rail way. His Majesty immediately dispatched a courier to the Queen. This courier was the bearer of a dispatch to General d'Hane and General Chersal, in which the King expressed the lively interest which he felt for those honourablo officers, and for the two servants of the com pany who were wounded. On Wednesday and to-day a 'great number of persons called to inquire after the Queen, at the Palace of Brussels and the Chateau of Lacken. SimssrA., MAT 7.--Every day, within the last week, there has been a repetition of riots and dis turbances in every town along the mountain chain.

One thing cheers us in the midst of the deep gloom which overspreads us : our crops all promise fair. The rape seed has recovered, and stands in blossom. The favourable change in the weather has also been manifest on the sheep, for they were suffer ing dreadfully from want of food, and there has been a great mortality among the cattle. The approaching Breslau market will therefore, we trust, be a good one. COSEL, MAY 7.—We grieve to state that the articles of consumption which were to have been exposed in our weekly market yesterday were violently seized by the mob. The sellers were either robbed of all or part of their stock. About 50 of the rioters were taken into custody. DRESDEN, MAT 9.—On the proposal of the Aus trian Government, unless unforeseen obstacles should intervene, there is to be a congress respecting postal regulations, which will be held in the course of the summer. An invitation has been addressed to all the Governments of Germany, as well as to the Post office of Tour and Taxis. It is chiefly intended to obtain a reduction by abolishing the expense of transit postage. We may add, that hitherto it is contem plated to facilitate only the transfer of letters, and not those of newspapers. In the first mootin g of the elders of the citizens of Stockholm the proposal r e l a tive to the exp or t a ti on of corn rejected.was s al towns of Norway th e scarc i ty of provi sions In several is severely felt, and the communes are actively i seeking remedies to meet the wants of the people. STUTTGARD, MAY 11.—The long expected - ordi nance relative to the examination and taking note of the quality of corn existing in the kingdom (su c h as have just been made out in the Grand Duchy of Baden), as well as respecting the corn tr a d e, are now published under the date of the 9 th —. The fir May. first of these ordinances states the present dear ness of pro visions, and the apprehensions occasioned by it, as the motives, and then, with reference to article 29 of the Constitution, contains, as the whole, the follo w i n g regulations : Within three days after the 17th of this m on th , an account is to be taken of all the existing stocks in the kingdom of wheat , rye , barley, oats, bean s , flour peas, linseed, maize, potatoes, and rice, in all places in the kingdom. The account is to be taken from house to house , by the bailiff and tw o members of the municipality of each p lace, who are t o enter in a list, in a tabular form, founded on their own ins e . tion, the quantities they have found, which is to be signed by the proprietors. The estates of the no bility are exempted from this measure, but they have to declare to the officers of their district authentic extracts from their books, and accounts showing the amount of the stock in their possessions. False statements are to be punished by fi ne. The gene ral superintendence is given to the c omm i ss i on for agriculture affairs. BRUSSELS, MAY. 16.—We are happy to announce that there was a slight reduction in the price of corn at market to-day. Numerous vessels have arrived from Odessa, Smyrna, & s ., laden with cor n , w h eat, &c. Owing to the late disturbances the communal Government has published a proclamation forbidding more than five persons to meet together in the streets. The King and Court have gone into mourning for the Archduke Charles for ton days. •• "BELT s LIFE iri Lorp cm .

See Belt's Life on Sunday next. FOOD RIOTS AT TAUNTON. The Taunton Courier, after describing the food riots which took pine in the town on Saturday, says— On Monday morning, soon after nine o'clock, a number of people collected at the town-mills, alleging that they had been promised on Saturday night that they should have their wheat at 10s. instead of 14s. the bushel. Their demand not being complied with, much angry feeling was expressed, hut no mischief was perpetrated, and a large party proceeded to Mr. Mathews's, where they soon commenced breaking the windows. A numerous body of magistracy and spe cial constables actively proceeded to the spot, where the Riot Act was again read. Two of the active perpetrators were taken into custody, and after a desperate resistance and attempt at rescue near the Guildhall, were committed to prison. _ _ _ The military pensioners of the district having been summoned on Saturday night, appeared at the barracks on Monday morning, where having assumed their mili tary costumes, being furnished with firelocks and am munition, they assembled on the parade, and were sta tioned with ;fixed bayonets in and around it. Nearly ail the shops in the town were either partially or entirely closed. On Monday evening, about 5 o'clock, upwards of 30 men provided with bludgeons, entered the town, at the East Gate. They were promptly surrounded by the civil force and marched out at the opposite part of the town over the Tone bridge. Several of them soon after returned, and being brought before the bench were examined and committed to gaol. At 3 o'clock on Monday. an ammunition waggon, guarded by a strong military party, under Captain Maher, entered the town. The promptitude with which the different troops of the yeomanry corps obeyed the order to assemble in Taunton was exceedingly honourable to that body. Within twelve hours the Dunster troop was in atten dance, and the members of all the other troops, accord ing to their respective distances, were equally obedient to the order. The vigorous measures adopted by the magistracy, seconded by the Yeomanry foree, the armed Pensioners, and the various recruiting parties of the neighbourhood, who were ordered to repair immediately to their head quarters in this town, have had the effect of tranquil lizing the painfully-excited feelings of the inhabitants, who towards evening resumed their customary occupa tions and pursuits. --- LUNATICS IN SCOTLAND.--The following is a Par liamentary return of the number of idiots, lunatics, and other insane in Scotland, maintained, either whelly or i❑ part, out of parochial, or other public funds :—Kept in public asylums, 1,290—in private madhouses, 145—in workhouses or wards, 204—in private houses with relatives or friends,l,774.

By this Bill it is intended that once in every year an account shall be taken for England and Wales of the quantity of land sown or planted with wheat. barley, rye, oats, beans and peas, potatoes, turnips, carrots, beet root or mangold wurtzel, tares or vetches, clover, lucerne, and other ar tifi c i a l grasses, meadow and pasture, fallow, wood, waste and other crops, if any, and also the number of bulls, oxen, cows and sheep. The registrar-general of births, deaths, and marriages, in England, is to have the care of super intending the taking of such account and of making such preliminary inquiries as may be necessary, and to prepare and cause to be printed, for the use of the persons to be employed in taking such account, such forms and instruc tions as he may deem necessary, and to issue the same to the persons for whose use they are intended. On or before the twenty-fifth day of June next, and from time to time thereafter, whenever a vacancy shall occur, every superintendent-registrar in Eng land and Wales is to appoint a competent person in each registrar's district under his superintendence to be the agricultural enumerator for such district, and to perform the duties therein mentioned ; that every such enumerator is to hold his office during the pleasure of the registrar-general, unless he desire to be discharged. Every enumerator, on or before the tenth day of July next, and on or before the first day of June in every succeeding year, is to prepare a list in writing of the names of all persons occupy ing any land exceeding three acres in quantity, within the district for which he is enumerator, arranged according to the parishes or townships, or parts of parishes or townships, within such district ; and for the purpose of preparing or correcting such list, every such enumerator shall, at all reasonable times, have access to the several rate books of the parishes and townships comprised in the district of which he is enumerator, or into which such district extends. Every such enumerator, on or before the said tenth day of July next, and on or be fore the said first day of June in every succeeding year, is to leave or cause to be left at, or to transmit to the usual or last known place of abode of each and every person named in the said list, a blank form, giving the before-mentioned particulars. Every person on whom any such blank form has , been left, or to whom it has been sent, or some person acting under the authority and by the di rections of such person shall, within fourteen days after such blank form has been so left or so sent, fill up the blanks in the same to the best of his power, so far as regards the land in his own occu pation, and shall sign the same ; and if he be any person other than the person to whom such form was addressed, shall state that he has filled up the same by his directions, or under his authority, and shall return the same, so filled up and signed, to the enu merator from whom he received the same. On the return of the forms the enumerator is to examine them, and cause any defects or inaccuracies which he may perceive therein to be supplied or corrected, so far as may appear possible. Upon the receipt of such I forms so filled up, every enumerator is to make out a table, arranged, so far as may be, according to to the townships comprised in his district, or into which his district extends, and in the form set forth in the schedule ; and is to transmit the same so filled up, on or before the 10th day of August next, and on or before the Ist day of July in every succeeding year, to the superintendent-registrar of his district. The superintendent-registrar is to examine all the accounts so delivered to him, and to satisfy himself how far the enumerat ors h ave duly performed the duties imposed upon them, and to cause any inaccuracies to be corrected so far as may be pos sible, and on or before the twentieth day of August next, and on or before the tenth day of July in every succeeding year, is to return all the accounts which have been delivered to him to the registrar-general for the use of the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council appointed for the consideration of all matters relating to trade and foreign plantations. The Lords of the said Committee may from time to time, by any order or orders under their seal, alter or vary the forms set forth in the schedules to the Act; and if it appear to them desirable that the information sought to be obtained should not be collected in any particular year, they are on or before the first day of May insuch year to notify the same to the registrar-general, who is thereupon forthwith to issue the necessary instruc tions to the superintendent-registrars, in order that no steps for such collection may be taken in that year. The Lords of the Committee of Privy Council are to prepare a table of the allowances to be made to the several enumerators, superintendent-registrars, and other persons to be employed in carrying out the provisions of this Act ; but the allowance to be made to any enumerator is not to exceed the sum of two pounds ten shillings for every hundred occupiers of land within the district for which he is enumerator, and so in proortion for a greater or less number of occupiers ; and the allowance to be made to any superintendent-registrar is not to exceed ten pounds for every one hundred pounds of the total allowance made to all the enumerators within his district, and so in proportion for a greater or less sum than one hundred pounds; and such table of allowance is to be laid before both Houses of Parliament so soon as the same has been approved by the Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury, if Parliament be then sitting, or if not, then within fourteen days after the opening of the next session of Parliament ; and all alterations in the said table are also in like manner to be laid before both Houses of Parliament as soon as may be after they have been made. The Bill then provides for the mode of application for remuneration by the different par ties entitled to it under the table of allowances, and then provides that the guardian, or where there are no guardians the overseers of the poor, are to pay the superintendent-registrar of their district out of the moneys in their hands, as such guardians or overseers, the whole amount of the allowances to which the superintendent-registrar and the enumerators in that district are severally entitled, or in case any such district shall contain parishes or places, or parts of parishes or places, all of which are not comprised in the same union, then so much of the whole amount as, under certain appointments therein mentioned are payable by such guardians or overseers, and each superintendent-registrar is to pay over to the enume rators in his district the allowances to which they are severally entitled according to the table of allowances. It then provides for the mode of apportioning the amount of the allowances among the different parishes in the superintendent-registrar's district, and requires that such payment by guardians, overseers, or trea surer, shall be certified to the registrar-general within one calendar month. It then imposes a penalty of 51. on the superintendent-registrar or enumerator, and on occupiers of lands, of 1/. for each neglect of duty, or a penalty of 51. on the latter if they wilfully make any false statements, or wilfully suppress any infor mation which by the blank form left with them they are required to supply, or wilfully deface, inure, tear, or lose such paper. But none of these penalties are to be sued for except by direction of the Board of Trade, or registrar-general. The remainder of the Bill is confined to the mode of recovering penalties. THE GREAT NORTH. OF SCOTLAND RAILWAY.— We are happy to understand that the directors of this line are taking active steps towards its formation. From the report of the town council proceedings it will be observed that a communication was laid before them to the effect, that a working survey was about to be made, and the line marked off previous to contracts being advertised for. Fol lowing up this communication, a party of surveyors f rom Aberdeen arrived here on Friday last to commence opera tions. The engineers have alsooff theee at work in the neigh bourhood of Forres, marking ine. The Torres Gazette says—" The railway enters he town's lands at the east, after crossing the fields near the obelisk,and runs in almost a straight line from that, through the town's }d Earks in the direction of Hedgefield, and crosses the m ob orn a little below the present suspension bridge. We in s v rv e e di ik er c e u n ts t the roads in the close vicinity of the town, places, and unless viaducts at these crossings are built, will very seriously interfere with the safety and comfort of the lieges. The Councillor's- walk, the most frequented in the town, is intersected by it in two places ; so is the Bogton. road, the lledgefield-road, and the Waterford - road, near the Lee-bridge. It is expected that the working plans will be ready in a few weeks, and operations, it is calculated, will be commenced in October.—lnverness Courier. Ersost RACES.—The influence of the wind, sun, and dust, on these occasions, is frequently a source of serious inconvenience to persons of delicate complexion. Ladies should ever be provided with Rowland's Kalydor, which will be found gratefully refreshing to the complexion, dispelling the cloud of languor and relaxation, allaying all irritability and heat, and immediately affording the pleasing sensation attendant on restored elasticity and healthful state of the skin. As a protector and preserver of the hair, Rowland's Macassar Oil will be found alike efficacious, guarding it from the injurious operation of the sun and dust. Beware of Spu rious Imitations.

THE LAMBING SEASON. —We regret that the lambing season in the northern Highlands, has been un favourable. In consequence of the inclement weather there has been a great many deaths, and, upon floe whole, there has not been so bad a season for some years.—Ross -shire Advertiser.

(From the Australian Journal.) The talented and benevolent Cowper, in one of his poems, gives vent to his amiable feelings in behalf of his native country, in describing her defects, in these words, " 0 England ! with all thy faults I love thee still !" If England were worthy of this eulogy at such a time, how much more worthy is she in the present day of such a testimony, after having passed such laws as the Slavery Emancipation Bill, with its self imposed fine, for former injustice, of twenty millions sterling ; the Catholic Emancipation Bill ; the aboli tion of the Test Act Bill; the Reform Bill ; the Irish Education Bill ; the Irish Colleges Bill ; and last, but not least, the Corn-law Abolition Bill ? Look again at its magnanimous forbearance towards insult ing France, domineering America, and towards the prostrate conquered city of Lahore ! Conduct like this, a series of magnificent legis lative and executive Acts like these have not been known before in any land. They are acts perfectly novel in the history of Governments, either ancient or modern. And they encourage us to hope that justice, in an important point, will yet be done to the colo nies of England, as the Irish nation are at last calling for the same with a prospect of success; which call, nevertheless, seven years ago, only created derision ; just as seven years ago the " League," on its first germination, was met with reproaches and ridicule by the landed interest of England, a majority of which has, however, now granted almost all that was asked, and more than the League expected. Why then shall it be thought a wild project to pro pose to form a " League" of the Legislatures of all the British colonies, and presenting a petition en masse, signed by the Speakers of each respectively, and to be presented to Parliament by a well-selected member in each House, with another, of similar im port, to the Queen ? Or why should not a separate petition be passed by each Legislature, and being signed by its Speaker, sent to London, to arrive there in the same month (the month to be previously agreed upon, say January, 1848 or 1849, to meet the new Parliament, which will be more " liberal" than the last), each Legislature appointing its own favourite members to present their petitions, but requesting them to act in conjunction with the others so far, as that the petitions may all be presented on the same day. But what should be the prayer of these petitions ? We answer, that the House of Commons shall alter the constitution, as it did in passing the Reform Bill, by admitting to its councils henceforth as many members, to be elected, not by the legislatures of the colonies, but by the elective constituencies of the co lonies, as the latter may have chosen to represent them in the lower branch of the British Legislature. There are in the Southern Hemisphere eight colo nies, which require a voice in the House of Commons, viz., Ceylon, Singapore, Hong-Kong, New South Wales, South Australia, Port Philip, Van Diemen's Land, and New Zealand. There are many islands in the West Indies; the smaller might be joined in twos and threes if too small to claim a whole member to themselves. Jamaica and Barbadoes should be al lowed to send two each, and Canada four. Then there are the other North-American colonies. In all, we imagine it would require an addition to the House of Commons of some forty Members. But first let us inquire, as far as the Home Govern ment is concerned, and the House of Commons itself, as to the inconvenience such a change in the Constitu tion of the United Kingdom might bring with it to the Imperial Government : 1. It will be said, that the Irish Members are al ready a faction, a tail of Mr. O'Connell, which is continually embarrassing the Government, and ob structing the passage through Parliament of useful measures ; and that the colonial tail, thus proposed to be introduced, will add to this inconvenience. 2. That it is a change in the Constitution not justi fied by its importance, like the Catholic Emancipa tion Bill, the Slavery Emancipation Bill, the Corn law Bill, &c., &c. 3. That the present large number of Members of which the House of Commons consists has long been found inconvenient to the dispatch of business ; and that the addition of some forty Members would render the carrying on the national business as intolerable as Dr. Reid's new ventilating apparatus is found, in February and March, to be destructive to the comfort and health of all Members except those of an iron constitution, like Colonel Sibthorp and Sir James Graham in the Lower House, and the " iron" Duke in the Upper, who fortifies himself against Dr. Reid's terrible set of bellows by taking a cold bath all through the previous winter. To these objections we shall only give one general answer. That a religious tail, backed by the reli gious world of England, produced the Slavery Eman cipation Bill ; that the Radical tail, backed by the people of England, produced the Reform Bill ; that an Irish tail, backed by the Repeal Association, pro duced the Catholic Emancipation Bill and the Irish Colleges Bill, &c. ; and that, last of all, the Man chester, and Birmingham, and Glasgow tail, backed by the merchants, manufacturers, and shopkeepers of England and Scotland, produced the abolition of the corn-laws. Now we do not dispute the very great inconvenience that Ministers, one set after another, were put to before they proposed these measures and also after they proposed them. But we have this apology to make for such inconve nience, that if it had not previously existed, and that to an insufferable extent, so that Ministers could no longer stand it, any more than the unjust judge could bear the boring applications of the poor widow, none of these laws would have been passed ; and we should sell be jogging on in the good old system of the seven teenth and eighteenth centuries—namely, with Ca tholic slavery, Negro slavery, Irish local oppression and educational darkness, rotten boroughs, and some hundreds of protective duties in addition to the mother of them all, the dear bread protective duty. Therefore we argue, that as the inconvenience suf fered by Ministers and by the House, however annoy ing and repulsive to the good old prejudices of 1601 and 1701, have nevertheless terminated in measures which are considered at this present moment, now that they are the law of the land, the glory of England, and the admiration of surrounding nations; besides preserving that transcendent blessing, peace—peace with France and America, never perhaps to be dis turbed more : so are we justified in saying and prophesying, that the increased peace, population, prosperity, content, and loyalty of the British colo nies, in both hemispheres, are likely to be so much increased by the proposal of a " colonial" tail of some forty Members, and that solely through the inconve nience which its talkative propensities, alias informa tion, will bring to the House of Commons as at pre sent constituted, that it is worth while to put up with the new " tail" we propose. Laughter and tears are not incompatible with each other. Whoever reads the debates in Parliament when the Australian colonies are before it, if the subject be a vital one (such as the abolition of trans portation, or the raising the price of waste land), or peruses the evidence of those roving colonists and others taken upon these and other deeply-important subjects, will be apt to burst out into tears, and then laughter; and in another minute into laughter and then tears. Such is the fatal nature of the twaddle, the gross ignorance, the venal misrepresentation with which these debates and this evidence too often teem. But still the Cabinet of London will say, "No doubt some little inconvenience to the colonies arises from these mistakes ; but for us to be bored by the speeches of forty new colonial orators, fresh from Jamaica, Que bec, and Botany Bay,wortld be intolerable. No. We must go on in the old way. The wisdom of our ancestors never tolerated such an innovation on the privileges and conveniences of this House. One of these con veniences is, and that not a little one, that at the end of a weary, worrying session, Ministers can dispatch colonial affairs by the aid of a few honest whippers-in, whom we can keep in ibwn for the express purpose. We used to treat Ireland in this comfortable way, and what is the consequence of the new movement in its favour ? Why, that presently we shall have to com mence in December, and sit to Septembe r. And if we admit fifty new colonial orators, we shall positively have to sit all the year round! No, it won't do. The colonies must be contented with our doinF , the best we can for them with our present machinery. Such will be the answer not doubt of Lord Melborne, Sir It. Peel, Lord J. Russell, Earl Grey, or Lord Stanley, whenever our proposal shall be made to them. For made it will be, and that before ten years are gone over our heads, though we see no objection to set about organ ising a " League " ofraCayo appointingl o b n e i a l b ae Legislaturesat the Committee our Sydneyt to draw present t m i v moment.

' A memorandum should be made of the month and year T in w hi c h it is intended that the petitions from -New South Wales shall be presented to the Queen and both Houses of Parliament. And the time thus ' fixed on, should be at a date sufficiently distant, to give the colonies in both hemispheres, ample time to imitate our example, so that petitions from all the colonies may be presented to Parliament simultane ously.

Is not a col ony as much a part of the Queen's dominions as the extreme northern counties of Scotland or the extreme western counties of Ireland ? Are not the colonists of New South \Vales, New Zealand, Van Diemen's Land, and South Australia, less intelligent, and less English than they ? And what would render expatriation to be felt no longer such in so great a degree as it is, as to consider a removal from Cork, or London, or Portsmouth to a colony, to be nothing more, in a political view, than a removal to another county; the new county lying in the West Indies, or the Northern Atlantic, or the South-Western Pacific Ocean, in lieu of Scotland or Ireland ? You cross the sea to go to the latter, and very often to go to the former. You do no more in going to America or Australia; the only difference is, you are weeks on your passage in lieu of days. But when at last you disembark, there is the same Monarch in the distant British county ; the same laws f un d amen t a ll y ; t h e same Constitution controlling them ; with a Colonial Legislature so called, but which bears a strong analogy to the Cor poration of the English, Scotch, or Irish borough you have just left behind. Since the above was published in our last number, it occurred to us, in order to avoid the obvious incon venience of adding some forty Members to the present very numerous House of Commons, how far the peti tions of the Colonial Legislatures for the representa tion of their constituencies in that House, might, in its final prayer, petition, that in case the Queen and Parliament should refuse their being represented by additional Members, to allow their constituencies to elect from among the Members of the Commons (each Legislature one) representative for the colonies; the Queen and Parliament recognising the double elec tion of such Members so chosen, by recognising their title and standing in the House as Members as well for the county or town in the Unit e d Ki ng d om , which elected them, as for the colony which also elected them. And so allowing such Members, by reason of such double election, a double vote; such double votes to be received on all questions in the debates, and also on all laws which were not re stricted to the United Kingdom. But on laws re stricted in their operation to the United Kingdom, then, when the question came to be put, " that this Bill be read the first time," (also the second time, and finally the third time,) and then only, such co lonial-elected Members should have but one vote. PARLIAMENTARY LEGISLATION ON TIIE KENT RAILWAY PROJECTS. SESSION, 1847. We recur to this subject again in order to put on record the circumstances under which it has been the fate of the people of Kent to have their long-cherished independence endangered a second time by the partial decision of a short Committee of the House of Commons. The Committee had to elect between two lines—the one direct, the other circuitous. The cost of construct ing each was the same. Instead of selecting such por tions of either scheme which obviously offered superior public advantages of the greatest possible importance, the Committee have entirely thrown overboard all con siderations of a public nature, without exhibiting, in any of their decisions, the slightest regard to local feeling or general accommodation. The conduct of the Committee is the more reprehen sible, inasmuch as they have granted extraordinary powers to the South-Eastern Company for charging higher fares than were allowed last year in the amalga mation Bills of the London and North-Western, the London and York, the North Staffordshire, and other great companies; and higher also than the scale pro posed this year by the Brighton and South Coast Com pany, in the following proportions.— Express trains, 10 per cent, higher. First class, 12i per cent. higher. Second class, 10 per cent. higher. . Third class, the same for both Bills. The people of Kent ask for a public inquiry. They are aware, from the evidence submitted upon the question of cost, direction, and population, that all these points have been shown to be greatly in favour of the scheme of the South Coast Company, and inasmuch as it is found that the claim to superior gradients set up by the South-Eastern Company cannot be established, they demand, naturally enough, to know how it was that a Committee of the House of Commons should have so decided against the direct and approved line, and in favour of an inferior line, which altogether leaves the local population. . . The people of Kent believe that Mr. Stanley's judg ment has been improperly biassed by the opinions of Mr. Stephenson, from the circumstance that Mr. Stanley is a director, while Mr. Stephenson is the engineer to the Chester and Holyhead Company. They consider their having interests in common with respect to the Chester and Holyhead Company, is sufficient to ac count for Mr. Stanley's undue leaning towards the opi nions of Mr. Stephenson, in regard to the Kent lines. This is a very natural conclusion. An inquiry, however, into the whole question, must take place in the House of Lords, and on the fare ques tion particularly. A thorough sifting of the evidence must there be resorted to, in order to expose fully the delusive and deceptive evidence of Mr. Macgregor on this subject. The evidence of Mr. Macgregor was no thing more than a juggle—a bold and unscrupulous attempt to impose upon Parliament, and to obtain, through its excited sympathies, further arbitrary powers to exact unjustly from the public. The attempt was as unwise as it was unworthy of a great company to resort to, and it must, therefore, be dealt with accordingly.— Canterbury Journal. ABORIGINES PROTECTION SOCIETY.—The tenth annual meeting of the members and friends of this so ciety, was held at Crosby Hall, Bishopsgate-street, 11r. Samuel Gurney in the chair. After a few prefatory re marks from the chairman, in which he spoke in high terms of the operations of the scaiety, Dr. Hodgkin read the report, from which it appeared that during the year no great triumphs on the part of the society had to be recorded, although meetings had been held with more than ordinary frequency, and tracts, pamphlets, &c., had been extensively circulated, together with a new publication which had been started with a view to the more general dissemination of the society's princi ples. The difficulties of Otaheite and other islands of the south Seas had engaged the attention of the committee, and interviews with Lord Palmerston had been obtained, and the result of his Lordship's intervention had been productive of the utmost benefit. The report proceeded to give a brief statement of the present condition of the Aborigines in the British dominions and other parts of the world. It has been ascertained that the Aborigines in Australia were rapidly disappearing, and many of them had been mercilessly slaughtered. Lengthened statements were made to show the character of the Aborigines generally, most of them being described as living in antagonism to Christianity and civilization. The society anticipated much benefit from the appoint meat of Mr. B. Hawse to a post in the Colonial-office, indeed they acknowledged that he had already conferred great benefit on the cause they had at heart, and the proceedings terminated. ROME.—The anniversary of the foundation of the Eternal City was celebrated, on the 21st tilt,' with un usual solemnity. A grand banquet took place in the baths of Titus, near the Coliseum, at which Messrs. Orioli, Dragonetti, D'Azeglio, Rossi, Guerini, Meucci, Sbalerdi, and others, delivered patriotic speeches, which were enthusiastically applauded by the 800 guests, and the 20,000 or 30,000 spectators present at the fete. M. Meucci congratulated the Italians on the sympathy ex pressed by England, for their cause. " England," he said, " is a free country, and cannot give chains to nations, that article not figuring among her manu factures. England admires and respects us. Let us, then, love those who love us. respect those who respect us, and hate those who hate us." This speech was received with the most deafening ap apdladursees.sed On by t C h a e r dfollowing z z day, o the w h e e n epvo ep t n h ui e lpa gt Governorsocircular Quirinal, t re solvedheprovinces thanknwe avoicep theub to repair ttuo t Father. i rrcn e he i d, ne a n on tt n ih d r t A ee o At eight repairedei their h t houses,ot'coktvhke P each theh provided a b t awn 111 t o h af Rome _d h t c e e d o f rendezvous.
