A LECTURE, on the BOS,HEILAN RACE (Pigmies) of SOUTHERN AFRICA, unquestionably the most extraordinary race of mankind, as well physically as intellectually, will be DELIVERED on the EVeNING of MONDAY, the 17th inst., at Eight P.M., by ROBERT KNOX, r.R.s.E., Corresponding Member of the Academie Royale de Mede cine, and Lecturer on Anatomy and Physiology. This Lecture is particularly addressed to those interested In the exciting events new going on in South-Eastern Africa, in the Kaffir War, in the great question of race, and the probable extinction of the Aboriginal raoee, the progress of the Anglo-African Empire, avid the all-important questions of Christian mission, and human civilization in that quarter of the globe. In illnstration of the Lecture, Dr. Knox wilt introduce to the notice of the physiologist and man of science Five Bosjiemans, or Hush people—two males, two females and infant, the only specimens of this singular race of human beings that ever visited Europe. Admission : reserved seats and platform, ls. 6d. ; body of the hall and west gallery, Is. Entrance to the platform and reserved seats from the Strand; to the body of the hall and west gallery from Exeter-street. Tickets may be had of Mr. Renshaw, Medical Book seller, 356, Strand ; the Medical Times Office, Essex-street ; and at the usual places. rHE MOST EXTRAORDINARY EXHIBI.- 11 of ABORIGIES EVER SEEN in EUROPE, landed In Liverpool by the brig Fanny, Captain Wheeler, and will be EXHIBITED, for the first time, at th• EGYPTIAN lIALL, Pie cudilly, early in the ensuing week. SOUTH AFRICAN ABORIGINES—TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN, and A BABY, of the IiOSJIEMAN or BITSII TEIBE, 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 oppor tunity 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 have 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 Moffatt, the Missionary's Work on Southern Africa, page 52.) " Poor Bushman ! Thy hand has been against every one, and every one's hand against thee. For generations past they have been hunted like partridges in the mountains. Deprived of what nature had made their own, they became desperate, wild, fierce, and indo mitable in their habits. Hunger compels them to feed upon every thing edible. Ixias, wild garlic, mvsembry antharnams, the core of aloes, gum of acarias, aid other plants and berries, some of which aro extremely unwholesome, constitute their fruits; whilst almost every kind of living creature is eagerly devoured, lizards, locusts, and grasshoppers not excepted. The poisonous as well as innoxious serpents they roast and eat. They carefully extract their bags or reservoirs of poison, with which they cover the points of their arrows." For particulars of tho habits and disposition of the Bosjiemans, see Professor Leichtenstein's Barehells, Campbell, Baekhouse, Methunes, and Moffatt's Travels in South Africa, and the works of Dr. Knox, on the Variety of the Human Race. Admission One Shilling, and iteserved Seats Two Shillings and Sixpence.

On Tuesday the Select Committee appoi n t e d by th e House of Commons to inquire into the operation of the navigation laws met. l'ne following Members were present :—Mr. Milner Gibson (chairman), Mr. Liddell, Admiral Dundas, Sir George Clerk, Mr. M‘Carthy, Mr. Lyall, Sir R. Peel, Sir Howard Douglas, Mr. Bright, Alderman Thompson, Mr. Ilume, Mr. Mitchell, and Mr. Ricardo. Mr. Liddell moved that Mr. George Frederick Young be summoned to attend and give evidence before the Committee on Thursday next.—A greed to. Mr. Duncan Durbar was the first witness called and examined. By Mr. Liddell--I am chairman of the General Ship owners' Society, and I own several ships trading between this country,lndia.China, Australia, and the Cape of Good Hope. The average rate of freihts during the last fi ve years has bee n f rom t h e Cape, 31. 16s. 4d. per ton; from Bombay, 21. 17s. 7d.; from Madras, 31. 45. 4d.; from Singapore, 21. 19s. 10d.; from China, 41. 3s. 7d.; from Sydney, Id. to Id. per lb. for wool; and for copper ore from 70s. to 84s. per ton. A good ship cannot be built, coppered, and rendered fit for sea in this country under from 201. to 21/. per ton old measure. It requires the strictest economy and care on the part of the British shipowners to get a profit out of the freights they are in the habit of receiving. ' Mr. Liddell—What is the effect you consider the navigation laws have on the employment of British shipping ? Mr. Dunbar—l fancy that the navigation laws give no protection in certain ports, especially in our own colo nies. They prevent foreigners from competing with us. If foreigners were allowed to compete with us in the carrying trade with the British possessions, the effect would be ruinous to the British shipowners. I consider that if the navigation laws were repealed, the property of the ship owners in this country would be immediately depreciated at least 35 per cent. in value ; and myself and many others would consequently be driven out of the trade. I believe that the repeal of the navigation laws would not only be injurious to myself and the class with whom I am connected, but that such a measure would operate prejudicially on the interests of the people at large. It would, for example, cause a vast number of the persons who are at present engaged in sail-making, as ship. wrights and the other artisans connected with the shipping trade to be thrown out of employment ; and ~ v en the sailors' wages, instead of being spent in this country, would be, to a great extent, taken abrond, as well as the money paid for freights. I believe that the rope tl of those laws would have tie effect of •epreciating the wealth and power of Englard, for, of curse, whatever we lost in the shipping trade tortigners must gain. It would be like a rich man taking a pour man into partner ship. lam of opinion that if the navigation laws were re pealed, the quantity and amount of British tonnage woisld decline. I can show the effect of competition on British shipping at Rio Janeiro. The port of Rio is open to the ships of all countries. In 1846, 635 vessels, mea suring 142,000 tons, ent,red hat port with cargoes. Ot that number 105 ere British ships. measuring 23,262 *tons; 158 were Awricans, measuring 38,400 tons; 1 Argentine; 74 Swedish, measuring 18,680 tons; :34 Austrian, measuring 10,131 tons; 14 Belgian, measur ing 3,654 tons; 36 Spanish, measuring 6,637 tons; 10 Bremen, measuring 2,290 tons; 1 Chilian, measuring 167 tons; 58 Danish, measuring 12,149 tons; 54 Sardinian, measuring 8,628 tuns ; 3 Dutch, measuring 481 tons ; 23 French, 8 Norwegians, 1 Oldenburgh, 44 Portu guese, 4 Prussians, and 7 Russians. The whole of the foreign ships measured upwards of 119,000 tons. During the sumo period 630 vessels left Rio with cargoes, on:) , 67 of which were British, 28 Austrian, 18 Belgian, 15 Bremen, 54 Danish, 2 Dutch, 22 French, 23 hamburg, 3 Lubeck, 12 Neapolitan, 6 Norwegian, 45 Portuguese, 4 Prussian, 6 Russian, 53 Sardinian, 17 Spanish, and 60 Swedish. If the navigation laws were repealed, British ships would be as successfully competed with by foreigners in our colonial trade as they are now in the trade with Rio. The principal articles of txport from Rio are sugar and coffee, and the chisf articles of import are flour and wine the flour is generally brought from the United States, and the wine from Portugal. They are brought in vessels that take in return cargoes. If we cannot compete with foreigners at Rio now, we could not hope to compete with them in our colonial trade, if the protection given by the navigation laws was done away with. The Go vernment requires us to take seven men and one boy for ever 100 tons in convict ships, and five men and one boy for every 100 tons in emigrant ships. By Admiral Dundas—We calculate the tonnage by the old measurement. Admiral Dundas—What is your opinion with regard to the general characters of the masters and mates in the merchant service? Mr. Dunbar—l think that they are a very respectable body of men. I am of opinion it is desirable that masters and mates should undergo a course of examination before entering upon service in their respective capacities; but I think it would be difficult to make a compulsory system. The masters and mates I myself employ all undergo au examination with the view of testing their ability iii nautical affairs. By Mr. Liddell—The average rate of wares given to able-bodied se a m en in ve sse l s tra di ng to the East Indies is from 40s. to 455. per month, and the average rate given to the same class of mon in ships trading to Canada and the north cif Europe varies from 555. to 655. per month. I have taken these as the average rates for the last five years. Mr. Ricardo—Can you state the rate of wages given in any particular ship—say a ship of your own ? Mr. Dunbar—Yes. My ship the Ramales sa il e d a f ew weeks ago with passengers for Auckland. She is a ship of 635 tons according to the old measurement, and 740 tons according to the new. The captain's wages (I am now speaking from memory) are IN. per mouth ; but he has perquisites, 5/. per month for finding extras for his cabin, 2i per cent. on all the freight the ship earns, and in case she carries passengers, as she did in this in stance, he " finds" them, and allows the one-fourth o!' the profit. The chief mate gets 6/. per month; the second mate, 4/. 10s.; the third mate, 21. 15s. to 31.; the steward, 2/. 1.55. to 31.; the carpenter, 5/. to 51. 10s.; the boatswain, 3/.; the cook, 21. 15s. to 3/.; and the able seamen have 2/. each. To navigate the Ratnalese there are required, besi les the captain, three mates, six petty offic,rs, twelve able seamen, eleven ordinary seamen, and five apprentices, makiug a total of thirty- seven person .. I am perfectly satisfied with the ability and nautical skill of the captain and the officers of the ship, and I place every confidence in them. By Mr. Liddell.—l think that the rates of wages given to the officers and crew of the Ramales is as low as they could possibly be placed at, consistently with the position of the parties. Admiral Dundas—l ask you, as a landsman, if you were going to America, and had the choice of two ships, differently officered, one by teen who had undergone an examination by a board of nautical men, and the other commanded by persons who had no t un d ergone any such course of examination—l ask you, which ship would you prefer sailing in ? Mr. Dunbar—lf I knew the owners I would as soon sail in one as in the other. Admiral Dundas—That is not an answer. As a stranger to the owners, which ship would you choose to sail in ? Mr. Danbar—l should say that I would go on board the vessel that was commanded by the officers whose nautical knowledge had beets tested before the board. By Alderman Thompson—l always make strict in quiry with regard to the integrity and ability of masters and mates betore I employ them. By Mr. Liddell.—During the last twelve months the lowest contract r a t e f or taking out emigrants to our colonies was 104 per head, and the highest rate was under 141. per head. By Admiral Dunda.a.—The Government require that the officers employed in taking out emigrants or convicts shall have passed an examination on nautical matters. By Mr. Liddell —I very seldom send out my ships to Australia with the expectation that they will get return freights which will pay me. When they cannot get freights at a r emunerative rate I have always ordered that they shall no on to India. I have known ships to remain for three months, and even longer, at Sydney before they could get freights. The freight for wool has generally averaged from ld. to lhd. per lb.; but that is by no means a r emunerating rate per lb. would be a remunerating freight • and if my captains cannot get that rate they take the Lips on to India in search of cargoes. By Alderman Thompson —I have never heard of foreign ships being preferred to British ships at Aus tralia, ralia,or at any of the other ports to which my vessels trade. By I have a been Nlr.Liddceoill—one lihs and have heard of a few, very few, ships sailing from B remen and Hamburgh with emigrants to the British are by no means as well provisioned ships. I was told that a British ship sailed from Frances for Rio a few d ays ago. and that they had on board only a little me a l an d b arley to feed the crew and passengers. Britishto l told thatem emigrant they rant Mr. Ricardo —Do you know this ? Mr. Dunbar —I was informed of it by the owner of the vessel, who is in this room. She is a vessel of 250 tons, a v, n yi d had 2UO thameiciinmeieghraenstt,s o a n nd bo o a n r l d y . wi S th he th w e as so n r o t not o p f ro f v o .i o d d i haveßy Mr. Liddell—alrea(ly described, rh ot h e E r m e g u r l a a t t o io n n C o om p p m a i a s s s e in g e e r r s s v the provisioning o f t h em. Under that scale the expense of providing ea c h of the emigrants with water, medical comforts, and berths, amounts from 71. Bs. to 71. 12s. per head. no andae made out a scale for By Mr. Ricardo —I do not think that foreign ships taking out emigrants to the British colonic* are obliged to comply with the regulations of the Emigration Com missioners. By Mr. Liddell --I do not believe that emigrants can be conveyed from this country to Australia at a less ex pense than I have stated. By Mr. Villiers—l send my ships from Australia on to India in ballast, because I considered that lid. per lb. freight for wool would not remunerate me for my trouble and the outlay of my capital, but other parties are found who bring home wool at that rate. Mr. ltieurdo—l believe that shipowners are not in the habit of doing anything without bring paid for it. Mr. Dunbar—yes, indeed, they are. I believe that the shipowners of England are the worst paid body in the country, taking into consideration their risks and expenses.—( laugh.) By Sir G. Clez k— l'he ships I own ran g e in burden between 500 and 700 tons, and are a very valuable class of ships. The reason why other shipowners bring wool from Australia at lid. per lb. is often in conse quence of their not having capital to send on their ships to India in search of a freight, and frequently beeau,e the captains have orders not to go further than the port to which the ship originally was outward bound with a cargo. I certainly have found it more advantageous to send my ships on to India than to let them bring home wool from Australia at a lower rate than lid. per lb. By Mr. Mitchell—Bringing home wool for lid. per lb. freight would give some, but very small remuneration to the ship owners. By Mr. Lir'dell—One penny and one-eiehth per lb. brought copper for wool would amount to .5 1. per tnestsurement ton ; and then the expense of stowing, which is paid by the ship owner, amounts to 11. ss. per ton, which leaves only 31. eere, there may have been ship owner; it would take nearly b 50 per cent. more adequately 155., and that amount could notquraenmtiutyneorfatoe re th thatha s to pay him. My shipsh ave frequently ore from Australia. I have never heard of any difficulty in obtaining shipping there for exporting the produce of ow e Yer, unexpectedlyfrom t t h b some temporary difficulty In obtaining * Ii ships to export it. I have never allowed my ships to wait in Australia for cargoes. I have desired that they should leave for been the c discoveredo l ony• India immediately, in case they did not get a certain amount of freight. Messesel have brought over cop er ore for four gus ton but I ; P within a few raonths, three vessel s t o h ave brought ore for 41. 12s. 6d. a ton. I presume the additional freight was liven in consequence of the increased supply of ore in the colony. b 5 Mr. Ricardo—You ring ore for four g u i neas per t( , n, and yet you require 61. s. per ton for wool. How do account for that ? Mr. Dunbar—A ton of ore does not take up near half the space that a ton of wool does. A ton of ore duos not take up more than 17 square feet, whereas a tun of wool takes up about 50 square fe e t . Mr. Ricardo—How' do you make that out ? Mr. Dunbar_You must know that there is a great difference between a ton measurement in loading a ship, and a ton weight ; a ton weight of wool would occupy 100 square feet. Wool is certainly a better cargo than ore, because it is lighter ; but th e cargoes from Au's tralia are generally mixed. By Alderman 1 hompson—l should not take an entire cargo of copper ore-31. per ton for copper ore, and lid. per lb. 0 f r wool, would give a fair re munerat i ng f re i ght . By Mr. Ri c ardo—ln point of fact, you require 141. per ton weight for wool. _ Mr. Dunbar —Certainly ; but—. Mr. Ricardo—l only want yoyr own view of the 1 question.

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 C,ounnie sioners were appointed. From the evidence then given it apeared that the capital invested by the New River Compauy was 1,116,964/. by the other Companies 2,127,5951., making a total of 3,224,3591 : Although the New River Company paid an enormous bonus (300 per cent. on the paid-up capital) yearly to the shareholders, tkere was a balance of 157,2061. 10s. Cal. remaining, which is more than the ori ginal cast of construction. The average number of houses supplied in 1834, according 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 susn, 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—uafdling and succes , fully established to the satisfaction of the most sceptical With reference to supplying London with pure spring water, let It be understood, 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 sq •are miles. Each square mile contains, allowing one-third for evaporation, no less than 3,208,228 hogsheads of water per annum, or on a hundred square miles, one-twelfth of the surface, 320,822,800 hogsheads. The supply 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 instauce in procuring water upon the principle stated. Tke 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.

Cox, 12, King William-street, Strand. MAY 13, 1847. Mr. Alderman Thompson—l certainly must complain of the way in which Mr. Dunbar has been CVOSS examined. He is anxious to give to the committee every information in his power on this subject, but attempts have been made to torture his meanings into a differoat shape Sir R. Peel--I think the witness is desirous of afford ing us a great deal of information, and the best way of getting it correctly will be to allow one gentlemaa at a time to put questions to him. Mr. Ricardo—l only wish to have an answer to my question—whether the witness does not require 141. per ton to pay him for bringing wool from Australia ? Mr. Dunbar—l repeat that I do. Mr. Alderman Thompson—Why, ho answered that question before ; but Mr. Ricardo confuses our case by calculating the freights of wool by the ton instead of by the pound, according to the usual practice. By Mr. Bright —Australian wool is pressed into nearly the same bounds as Indian cotton. By Mr. Liddell—The expense of stowing a cargo of wool is lower now than it was formerly-ss. 6d. per bale, each averaging from 240 to 2801bs. The lashings of the bales are brought from 'Manilla, and cost about 701. per ton; and that, as well as the expense of strain ing, is always paid by the shipowners. If a merchant here charters a ship to bring a cargo from Australia, he will get her at a much lower rate than if she went out and ran the chance of obtaining a return cargo. Ido not think there is any scarcity of ships at Batavia at present. There are plenty of vessels lying at the ports of Australia, and Batavia, being only 28 days' sail from there, I do not think there can be any scarcity of ship ping in that quarter. 1 do not believe that the Australian people have had any reason to complain of the want of ships to export their produce; on the contrary, I think the shipowners have had reason to complain of not being supplied with freights. Mr. Liddell---What do you consider the effect on British shipping would be if permission were given to import the produce of America from the ports of Europe ? Mr. Dunbar—Why, we would lose what is called the " long voyages." Foreign ships would bring the Ame rican produce to the Continent, and our steamers would have to bring it over here when the prices were higher in the English markets than in the foreign; and the effect would be to drive the British shipping out of the long-voyage trade to a great extent. I believe, if we were driven out of the trade, which we inevitably would be if the navigation laws were repealed, that the foreigners who would supply our places would, in the course of a short time, raise their rates of freight to the old standard rate. Mr. Ricardo—And then it would be competent to the British shipowner to go back to his old profession or trade?- -(A laugh.) Mr. Dunbar—l doubt that. By Sir G. Clerk—The removal of the navigation laws, so far as they affect the foreign shipping trade, would, in my opinion, be injurious to the British shipowners, be cause it would interfere with the long-voyage freights. By Admiral Dundas—l think that the coasting-trade service is the best nursery for British seamen; and that it is necessary to keep up that service for the due pro tection of the British empire. By the Chairman—British shipbuilders are not pre vented from building ,hips in foreign countries; but I acknowledge that it would be best for us to buy ships at thcse places where we can build them cheapest. I would not, however, wish for a repeal of that part of the na vigation laws whick prevents us from building ships in England as cheaply as in foreign countries. After a short cross-examination of the witness by Mr. Ricardo, the Committee adjourned till Thursday (this day). THE ALLEGED PIRATES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE WESTERN TIMES.

As there has not appeared in any one of the public journals in England any other than a partial view of the case, we wish the public, through your columns, to know our reasons for putting the master in irons, and returning home with the ship ; also the apparent determination of the magistrates to commit us, notwithstanding the evi dence on the part of the prosecution saying nothing more nor less than what our charge against the captain would have been if the magistrates would have heard our charge. In fact, the evidence maintained that they were dreadfully frightened at the outrage committed by the master, and were afraid of their lives also. On Sunday, 28th March last, about eleven o'clock, a.m., it being the chief mate's watch upon deck, the master desired the chief mate, Mr. Rose, to loose one of the steering sails to dry. The chief mate desired his watch to do so, which they did with alacrity —notwith standing it being Sunday, and unnecessary work. The mate, Mr. Rose, then asked if the master wished the others loosed also. He replied, certainly. It was ac cordingly put into execution—the men working with a will, to gratify his wishes, without grumbling as to its being Sunday and unnecessary work, which sorely dis appointed the master. He commenced walking the quarter-deck, and seeing the man's eyes towards the ship's head who was steering the vessel, which is always more requisite to a good sailor in clear weather than the compass, he asked the man what the he was looking at. The man replied, nothing, sir. He called him a liar and other opprobrious names. He then desired Mr. Rose, the mate, to send another man to the helm, which was accordingly done. As soon as the man was re lieved, he commenced shoving him and abusing him in language that it would be a pity to shock you with a recital of it—the archfiend from hell would blush to hear such shocking language. He then viciously ordered the man to get grease and grease the masts. The man refused to do so, as it was Sunday, and th e m as ts h a d been greased the evening before. He then ordered him to lay aloft and light home the main top-gallant sheet. which the man did. As soon as the man came down from aloft he commenced abusing him, calling him damn trash, pig's bristles, &c. &c. He then desired Mr. Rose, the mate, to send a hand to grease the masts. The mate sent the boy, as the men were busy spreading the sails. He asked the mate whom he had sent ; the mate said the boy. He told the mate to send a man. The mate then asked the men severally; they objected to go, as it was a boy's place. It was Sunday, the masts were greased the evening previous, and it was unnecessary. He then de sired the mate to call all hands, thus depriving the poor fellows who were below in their beds from enjoying that rest which they so much required, as they had been on deck eight hours that night ; however, they were called and asked. They also objected, as there were boys in the ship, and the masts were greased the evening before. The master then went aft. swearing he would have some of the -- lives yet. He then came forward, carry ing a naked cutlass in his hand, swearing the first ***** that would dare to prevent (the beef which was for the men's dinner, and which he had ordered to be taken aft), it, he would knock his brains out—at the same time flourishing his sword, and striking a cask, as much as to show what effect it would have upon their heads. Not satisfied with the cook saying the beef was all out of the coppers, he desired the mate, Mr. Rose, to go into the galley, and see whether it was all out or not. That being done, he went aft swearing he would be the death of some of them before they should get out. The crew all the time mute—and saying nothing. He went aft and sung out to put the ship about. The men all assisted—and when the ship was about, he called all hands aft, and insisted upon the men greasing the masts. They all said no, and requested him to put back with the ship, as they could not think of proceeding on the voyage with him, after the manner in which he had threatened their lives. Ile would not. They went below and the captain and myself went down to dinner about tour o'clock pm. The crew came aft, and re quested, in a respectful manner, the master to put back with the ship, as they considered their lives in danger, and from the manner in which he had threatened their lives, and from his actions that day, they could not say what the result might be on so long a voyage. He would not do so: they then seized him, and made him fast, and confined him to his room, placing a watch over the door, so that whatever he would wish for by da or by night h e s h ou ld h ave, when called for. y The crew then requested that I should take charge ' of the ship, and fetch the first port that the wind would permit in England. I, the mate, remonstrated, and wished to fetch Madeira, Brazils, or one of the West India Islands, as either would lay on our track out. The crew preferred returning home—as the wind was foul to proceed, and fair to return. Moreover, by seeking the protection of their country's laws, it would prove they were not piratically or mutinously inclined : and fur ther, if they should proceed and meet with any ship bound to Britain, it would be surmised that they in tended to run away with the ship and cargo, which, I am sorry to say, appeared in last week's papers in Glasgow. I, therefore, considering it for the benefit of the shipowners, merchant owners of the cargo, and the underwriters, undertook to carry her home. The wind being fair, I anticipated making the Lizard in three days, as at that time we were twenty-two days out, and at no greater distance than 450 miles from the Lizard. On Thursday, the Bth of April, we were boarded by the pilot, three leagues off Dodman Point, it bearing N. by W. from ship, and about thirty miles distant from Plymouth, as at the master's request I made Plymouth. About eleven o'clock, A.M., we brought up in Plymouth Sound, and I went ashore to report the ship to Lloyd's agent, (Mr. Collier,)who observed, (upon being told it was the same cap tain who had been committed to Newgate for six months for cruelty,) have they allowed that man to take charge of a ship? But as soon as he was told that the captain's brother was part owner, the tables turned. H e then said the crew wer e wrong, and that he must be liberated i m mediately, however,Fee his attorney would s a y, he desired his clerk t o go along with me, and e h desiring his clerk to say he should be in all m orn i ng . Mr. Edmonds , h is attorne y , said that the men at least ought to have submitted to have had an ear cut off before they were justified in putting him in irons; howe ver , Mr. Edmonds a nd Mr. Collier met in private, and Mr. Collier being a mag istrate, sent a constable off to libe rate the captain. The crew t hi nking he was taken in charge, were glad, and two of their number went ashore the next morning, to prefer a charge against him to the magistrates , but were told they could not see the magis trates before eleven o'clock, thus they were detained PRICE SD. until Mr. Edmonds and the captain charged them with piracy, mutiny, and assault. A note was sent to vie on board, requesting me to bring the crew on shore, as the magistrates could not enter into the case until all hands were pn-seut. As soon as we -arrived at the Court, all hands (except the steward and myself, the chief mat..), were charged as above—we were kept by as witnesses for the prosecution, and were dvsired by the town clerk to appear next Tuesday, at eleven o'clock. We went on board and remained until Tuesday, when we repaired to the court, and were given in charge by the shiphroker and the captain in the police house. It appears their reason for so doing was from seeing my log book that the truth would not answer their purpose—they gave myself and steward in charge up , n suspicion—thus depriving the men from benefitting from our evidence. And what is very singular, the only boy who had seen the whole transaction on board they would not produce him as a witness —but two who bad seen but little of it. The reason is this—they (the prosecutors) had all the boys ashore at their office, examining, and as the two acknowledged to us after our commitment, bad been schooled previous to coming into court. And what is so singular, during the time that the counsel for the prosecution (Mr. Collier's son), was examining the boy, the magistrate should complain of the boy being so reluctant in giving his evidence. He seemed to favour the defence, but little did the magistrates think that the boy had been schooled by the prosecution ; no wonder the counsel and his attorneys blushed, if the magistrate had known, we believe from appearances he would have said nothing, for when Mr. Collier several times threatened the boy that he woul be put with the prisoners and transported, if be did not speak out, our attorney (Mr. Herring) objected to it ; but the magis trates said Mr. Collier was quite right, he only wished to elicit the truth, and that our attorney had been al lowed more latitude than was proper. Our chests were broken opeu, and our note-books, old accounts, slates, on which was a copy of letters to our wires, and every thing that had the appearance of scribbling was taken from us, and we could get no redress. Part of our clothes has been taken to sea in the ship, and are lost to us. (Signed) GEORGE ROSE, chief mate. John Harults, second mate. Robert Craig, seaman. Rich. Thos. Lang, seaman.

(From the Bury Herald.) [The following obser E v a a r ti A ots w ar . e l written by haesgeenpetliniedt man formerly an i n h a bi tant of Bury, who interveni ng y ears i n the colonies. Plainly a candidly writt en , hi s " s h ort and simple annals" maynot prove unacceptable t o th ose contemplating a departure from their native land, or to others who ftel an interest in the welfare of our adventurous emigrants.—En.] It must be admitted by all classes of society that the possession of such vast countries as those we hold in the southern hemisphere is of the first moment, but it ue fortunately happens that either from a want of local knowledge by most writers on emigration, or from inca pacity, they have hitherto been entirely misrepresented, and the benefits and advantages they actually posses:, spoken of in a cursory and unsatisfactory mariner. The object of such others seems merely to write a book, de scribing scenes they never saw, and manners they never witnessed. Fur the rest, the climate of a country in the furthest zone can be ascertained by the most limited geographical research, and the valuable but abstruse " Hints on Emigration" is completed, published, and sold. And what is the result? The Emigrants is duped, and unfortunately, in too many instances, ruined. It is my opinion that the more concise and simple the manner in which a strange country is described the better; a very elaborate strain will doubtless be more gratifying to a reader, but to the man who is choosing his future home and bidding adieu to his old roof tree, what can supply the simple truth? The great mass of the English 1 population have, I believe, no distinct idea of the under taking they have entered into until they are deposited on the shores of the promised land. Then it is they see that the exchange has not proved so beneficial as they anticipated; they find that they have thrown away a home, and in most in stances, convertive comfort, for a doubtful existence and a residence in a far country amongst strangers. The most eligible spot hitherto for emigration has unques tionably been Australia Felix, but as the stream was directed there so indiscriminately and with such want of judgment by the emigration agents, the result has been too great an influx of labour; preventing thus the emigrant Irons obtaining more certain or profitable em ployment than he would have done in the mother country. Indeed, in many instances, the surplus labour introduced has been so great that respectable and clever mechanics have been compelled for the support of their families to accept with gratitude such employment as offered in the interior, in the shape of hut-keepers and shepherds. at wages averaging from 151. to 201. per annum, with a ration of food for one person. I have known this to occur to young men of first-rate ability , and good introductions: men qualified by their educa tion and their birth to hold respectable positions in society. This being the case in Port Philip—the very scene for emigration, what could be expected of the neighbouring colonies of Sydney and Van Diemen's Land? Both of these had the advantage against the introduction of free labour from possessing such vast quantities of convict labour ; not indeed at a cheaper rate, for the convicts available as servants de mand in some cases higher wages than the emigrant ; but, on the other hand, he makes generally a better ser vant, from his better knowledge of the country he lives in. This must tend, of course, to militate against the new-comer, and his steps should on no account be directed to such countries as are under penal jurisdic• tion ' • not only because the chances of employment are less, but that his moral condition suffers greatly from association with the emancipated felons he is continually thrown amongst. It sometimes happens that many otherwise virtuous people are led into crime and become a burden to themselves and a pest to society. The ge neral opinion held by emancipists and men in bondage is that of ill-will against the emigrant ; he (the emi grant) is looked upon as an interloper, for the fact of his introduction to the colony must lessen the demand, and consequently the price of labour. The result is a dead set against him, and this proves a most unhappy feeling, for, should the emigrant obtain employment with his family in the Bush, which is at best but a perfect wilderness, and be subjected to the wanton injury that class of men can cause him, his life is anything but contented, secure, or happy. In the palmy days of Port Philip, that is in the year 1840, the period I first visited it, things were much better ; the introduc tion of labour was then slow, and much below the penal demand ; few emancipists had found their way then overland from Sydney or from the neighbouring island of Van Diemen's Land; and employment was offered to all classes, at a high remuneration. So far things pro wised well for the prosperity of the colony, but this ap parent advance to prosperity nets but the prelude to the fearful events which tollowed, for in 1844, 1845, and the year 1846, so great had been the introduction of labour, that many, very many, were offering their work for food alone ; and those persons who had previously been in a position to give them employment were bank rupts and giving up their establishments In April of the present year (1846) I met a gentleman in Sydney who had just arrived from Melbourne, Port Philip ; be had been in business there for many years, a mer chant, a most intelligent and honourable man (Mr. IC—), generally respected and patronised. Ile to ld ate that business had gut so bad that he could not even make a living ; how, then, could the poor labourer or mechanic? Who was to employ him —or, when em ployed, who pay him ? The chances were ten to one that if he did get employed by the time he had finished his Work his employer was bankrupt and his hard-earned wages paid at the rate of three-halfpence in the pound. These eireumstancas prove with certainty the fact of colonisation being anything but the bright goal of success usually represented, and urge the necessity .on the part of the intending emigrant to °ire some con sideration to the matter. The island of Van Diemen's Land being entirely under penal jurisdiction should on no account be thought of for the reasons already de scribed. Sydney, New South Wales, is also a penal government, but as there has been a vast introduction of free labour, the town and its immediate vicinity dues not smack so much of convictism. It would be absurd, how ever, for an emigrant of any class or denomination, from a tinker to an accountant, to proceed to New South Wales in the hope of being employed at Sydney. When he arrives, if he does get an offer of employment, it will be, whether he be gentle or simple, as a shepherd or hut-keeper 500 or 600 miles in the inte rior at the yearly wa ges of 151. This is very fol lowing dep _r able, but nevertheless true ; and, added to this, the 1. facts I think will fully convince snas e re f e a rn so ig na ra b t le man what caution should be used in the step. emigrat ing. . at l Portnthe e j a a r c ly ks p o a n r , t fr o o f m th ll e j p b r a e r s t en T t ow ye n a , r . 4i__ a s n li ar rivedippie Die men's Land, with a large quantity of men on board t t e er t m h e e d m pr e o n ba t t h io e nists; following thia Wprrminciiptleap:—PeaVrasn, is applied Diemen's Land had become so paralysed and stagnated that sup port and employment could not be afforded to vast quantities of her convict population.

Should any man, knowing these facts , travelled in the far and wild Bush of Austral ia the deeds of misguided and dreadful men against their n fellow creatures—where murder is rife , whoet has seen a and robbery but a by-word—should he, I say, advise the humble and Ivirtuous peasantry of his own soil to seek a home in such scenes, or paint a vast and desolate plain of sand as a fertile spot, a land flowing with milk it:,d honey? No ! such a man would be, in my sp'nion, but fit to be a pro bationist. Sydney is the capital city of New South Wales, and has a large commerce and an extensive shipping interest; it also has large exports in the shape of wool, oil, bone, bark, coal, copper, manganese, &-e. &c., and a large intercolonial traffic yielding both profit and labour. A small quantity of grain is prcduced in New South Wales, but it never will become a grain country, although the districts of Port Philip, Australia Felix, and South Australia, produce large quantities. The settlements on the western side of the continent iT eluding Swan River, &c. icu , are lture. but , I have bee n i n f ormed, better calculated for ag r at present that portion of the colony is very thinly populated by E uropearm Th e mast fertile and advantageous part of tbe whole continent to which emigration could be now directed is on the north-east side, which takes an immense extent of country, and forms Torres Straits. This vast space constitutes the very best part of the whole contirent, and the climate within the limits of Moreton Bay and Port Essington, a tract embracing hundreds - of miles, is very vege fine, and a great proportion of the soil fertile beyond possesses the beauties of a tropical cli matedeser without iption. invariably attend tea, shrub, s n e d s which rieher frnitsrind cocoa nut, Banana, and Upas trees cot ton, and rice plants, those climes. It e l b l al th e e fu r l a d re is r ea a tation are abundant, and the sugar cane, arrive at full and rapid perfection. The Islands with whi c h Torres Straits are studded are full of luxuriant vegetation and at present remain en tirely uninhabited. From their proximity to the main land, in many cases being less than a quarter of a mile from it, they could easily be made by industrious people valuable homes ; the waters of the Straits yield abun dance of fish and turtle, thus insuring food,,and from the valuable productions of the choral banks in the shape of sea slug (Beebe le mer, tortoiseshell, and pearl), large profits could also be derived. This being the route chosen by ships proceeding from the South to the East, a continual intercourse and exchange would be kept up between them and the Strait settler ; these ships would also gladly avail themselves of the knowledge of any intelligent persons, who from their residence in the Straits, were acquainted with the intricacies of its navi gation, and reward them liberally 'for such information and guidance. Added to this, poultry, vegetables, &c., could be supplied to all these ships at a large amount of profit. It may be argued against this advice, that the inse curity of settling upon these islands from the attacks of the natives of New Guinea prevents its practicability, but I speak from personal experience, having visited this spot during the present year. I believe from that scurce there would be little cause for the emigrant to fear. I do not advocate that a solitary family should at first form these settlements, but in the event of twenty individuals settliug upon an island, there is little, very little cause of fear from the encroachments of any of the Abori gines. As proof of this, a gentleman I well know, lo cated himself on one of the islands f or th e collecting the slug which brings a price of 1201. per ton in the Cainese market. He had with him to c arr y on his • slug fishing ten or twelve Japanese, and these were armei with three or four rusty. muskets. One fine day a party of the New Guinea-ites came pounce upon them in their little retreat, but Mr. P.. was up and ready, and the rusty muskets and the half score of frightened Javanese sent them scampering into th it Proas to double quick time. H—, after this, continued his fish ing, and his occupation of any of the islands he chose, unmolested. On the proposed extension of steam navi gation to the South, these Straits will be the route chosen, and the consequence is their-importance must be greatly augmented by that means. The neighbouring settlement of Port Essington is at the Northern entrance of the Straits, and is ut present but a military post occupied by 40 o: 50 marines under the command of Captain M'af.rthur. The imp- rtance of the position,, however, I have no doubt his ere this met the eye of theLcg - izlature, and it is rumioureti that Government Eraikraiion is about to be iinmdiately di re ted to it—ouch a prom, ding will, in my opinion, be u.tentled with benefit, and th=t emigran , , on arriving there, i.istead of robbing shoulders with felons, can ap p.-eciate the blessings of an honest name. He may have to struggle with difficulties, but who in this world of trouble hss not ? And is it not better for him to be 'neath the roof of his own hurnbi, home secure in his own honesty, than a resident in that country where its inhabit,nts exclaim— " True patriots we, for be it understood We left our country for our country's good." In reference to the South of A:us-troll; or Adelaiik, I have not visited that part of the colony, and cannot speak from personal observation, but in the event of the emigrant persisting in proceeding to any of the colonies in the southern part of the continent, I should advise, from all I could glean while I was in Sydney, that his steps should be directed to Adelaide in preference i ithe to Sydney or Port Philip, as oifseing the best chance of employment and tolerable comfort, and from being more fertile and less tainted with convictisin, is the bestspot to choose on the southern part of con ;inent. However, my advice is, while there is such a noble field open as the one I shall now endeavour faintly to describe, not to venture near South or Western Australia at all. POSITION OF THE ENGLISH PRESBYTERIAN OR UNITARIAN DISSEN TERS, IN REFERENCE TO THE EDUCATION QUITS I lON. 1: he position of this body of Dissenters generally, in reference to the late proceedings on the Minutes of Council on Education, has been essentially a false one. The body in Leeds (at least considerable numbers of it, including their minister), seem to have been precipitately, and (as they appear to consider themselves) irrevocably forced into a certain attitude of diff,rences with the op position to the minutes which th. re sprang up. For years past an opinion in favour of national education had gained strength by the Unitarian body ; one among other signs of the decline of the Nonconformist spirit among them. That decline has now been fully and lamentably re vealed. The Leeds demonstration of dereliction was but an accident, though the precursor of others • and very generally thro ug h out t h e body Unitarians ' have peti tioned in favour of the Government scheme. There have been, however, a few exceptions—exceptions, too, of ministers opposing the Minutes, while members of their congregations have been favourable to them, and even petitioned in their behalf. What now has been the false position of Unitarian Dissenters who have been favourable to the Minutes ? In their zeal for education they have sacrificed their distinctive Nonconformist principle—the root of all their glory above all other re ligious botlies; to their friends a sorrow, to their enemies a triumph—to their fellow-Dissenters a broken reed and losing of victory in the hour of expected confidence aril triumph. They sacrificed the Nonconformist principle. Not to dwell on their openly sanctioning and asking for a measure bearing in its front undeniable and very extensive strengthening of the existing Church establishment, and that through the minds of ingenuous youth, they were themselves met wi' h their once dreaded and conscientiously denied ei,t-aLce of civil power into their own religion. Parry and explain it as they may, the thing is plain on the Minutes' face; and the whole course of the debate hai brought it out in more ugly and glaring colours. Religion mint ba provided for, or Go vernment would and could do nothing. This reitera.ed argument was all iu ill with the main supp. rters of the Minutes in the lion e. But more humiliaung di , q.overics reim,ined. The in- Famous xeluslon of the Catholics had some retribution in it, on whet modicum or Nonconformity remained in consenting Unitarians. Tho daily reading of a portion of scripture meant the imposition of the authorised English version. Mr. Higginson, of Wakefield, (who has been the chief Unitarian writer for the Minutes) forthwith arose in the Chronicle, and said it couldn't mean so. Lord John Russell said it did and it should. And so Mr. Higginson and his party are left to judge whether they have been wrong in their first false step, however, and may haply retrace it ; or whether, having welcomed a Gov e rnment slnspectoriniaotl use.l s t well o e laskThey h ei3f, pass must h bu e ys i t r ikt r sn e o l t i we g l : loii. them e a m l all h bely‘j tmhea compliance is not born of those who chat hi whatg. h t t s , Bu t c h i not even use the crtss in baptism at Government's mand ; nor yet o f t h ose w h o would not sbnittoc‘ would ,tlnh e. ordinance of the Lord's supper as a passportto civil office gone, incense e ; anndor itsof on examples t those he re o a u ol t l ba d sro. n l o e t tße c ul a t s t t a heh hers heathenwho w are single grain o is nge is The Prospective Review, too, may 10, k back, and forward, and certainly in its own path, for it, in vain, so long as it upholds a principle in one b rea th (p. 252) and deliberately resolves to act in violation of it in ttn. next Let " Video me:iora proboque, Deteriora seqntr,—" Henceforth be its motto.
