Moloch, Jane f, Sher wood THE BISHOP OF OXFORD ON THE MORAL CONDITION OF THE AUSTRA LIAN COLONIES. (From the Sydney Morning Herald). In our paper of the Ist instant, we copied the Morn ing Chronicle report of the discussion which took place in the House of Lords on the 3d of March last, on the subject of Van Diemen's Land, and the intended new penal settlement in New Holland. Our object in now reverting to that discussion is, to repudiate certain observations contained in the speech reported to have fallen from the Lord Bishop of Oxford, touching the moral condition of those colonies which are or have been made use of as penal settlements. Alluding to the manner in which the transportation system had been conducted by the British Government not, as we gather, with reference to Van Diemen's Land particularly, but to penal settlements generally, New South Wales of course included—the Right Rev. Prelate is reported to have expressed himself in these appalling terms :- "Knowing, as we know, or ought to have known, that evil was a fermenting principle—knowing that to asso ciate persons of vicions habits increases instead of di minishes evil, we consigned convicts to a more distant part of the earth, after a long voyage, in the course of which the evil principle of one man might be communi cated to all the rest; and then we set them down to be the founders of a new people, givint:• their no means of moral restoration—no principle of religious healing. We had reaped as we had sown. It was indeed impossible to hear or read of the state of things in the quarter of the world to which he referred, without shame or sorrow They found that there, connected with the Englisn name, had sprung up, commonly the most deep and horrible pollution; that vices which Chrisitanity had almost banished from the earth were more extending; that the tune of society was altogether lowered, and that those who were recovered in a great measure from the particular sins of their progenitors, exhibited in other respects no great moral improvement. They found that chastity was still unknown among the women, and that purity was a stranger to the men." These are certainly frightful imputations ; and whether intended to apply to our unfortunate sister colony exclusively, or to New South Wales and original dependencies generally, they are not more frightful than untrue. Nay, they are not simply untrue—they are so extravagantly, so preposterously .untrue, that had they not proceeded from the lips of one whom we are bound to acquit of intentional misrepresentation, no words would have been too strong to express our indignation at the monstrous slander. The picture of our society here held up .to the horrified gaze of the House of Lords, of the British nation, and of the world ut large, is one of unmitigated deformity and pollution. " Chastity un known among the women—purity a stranger to the men !" Where could the Bishop of Oxford have picked up these shocking falsehoods ? And what could have misled him to regard them as truths ? The only way in which we can at all account for his Lordship's wrong impressions —how dreadfully wrong to the virtuous colonists !—is this : His late father, the immortal Wilberfore, took a very lively interest in the moral afihirs of New South Wales from its very commencement, having been the means of extorting from the Home Government, but with the utmost difficulty, the first appointment of a Chaplain to watch over its moral and spiritual interests. The late Rev. Samuel Marsden, the second chaplain, was also, we believe, sent out at the instance of the same illustrious philanthropist. And for many years after the foundation of their settlement, Mr. Wil berforce continued to urge upon the King's Ministers, from time to time, the crying necessity for still further supplies of clergymen, and for the appointment of schoolmasters. his eon, the present Bishop of Oxford, may, therefore, be supposed to have been accustomed from earliest life to hear of the culpable remissness of the Government in regard to the religious concerns of this then penal country, and its demoralising results. The impressions of boyhood may have grown up with him ; and having been strengthened by the one-sided representations of the Transportation Committee of the House of Commons, so recently as eight years ago, and by the still more recent calumnies of the New Zealand speculators, to the propagation of which, unhappily, the Archdeacon of Dublin lent the high influence of his sta tion and character,—Dr. Wilberforce may have come to look upon it as a settled and indisputable fact, that wherever the streams of transportation have flowed, they have left behind them the slime of moral pollution, in which " things rank and gross in nature" have taken obstinate root, spreading around in all directions, and filling the land with their fruit of abomination. And with this false conclusion fixed and riveted in his mind, the Right Reverend Prelate must have gone down to the House of Lords for the purpose of bearing his testimony against the system which had wrought such fearful mis chiefs. Fortunately we can oppose to the errors of one Pre late the truthful representations of another. Some of our readers may remember, that in the session of 1840, during the debate upon the Immigration Report, the Lord Bishop of Australia took the opportunity of re butting these aspersions which had then been recently cast upon the moral character of our community by Dr. Whateley, the Archbishop of Dublin. In the speech de: livered on that occasion (23d October, 1840), the Bishop of Australia, referring to what had been advanced at a recent public meeting in Dublin, by the Rev. Dr. Dick inson, chaplain to the Archbishop, is reported to have spoken as follows : " He knew no single instance (either in this colony or in Van Dieman's Land), of any man or woman either, indulging in open vice, who received the notice of any whose notice was of any worth. He knew that persons of blemished character found themselves as much shunned, and as uncomfortably situated here as in any other country in the world, in fact, as completely ex cluded as they would be from the most scrupulous of the societies to which they had been accustomed in their native country. Nor was this feeling confined merely to the higher classes, but had much prevalence and influ ence to a very wide extent even in other orders of society." This testimony is full, ample, complete, and coming from one whose opportunities of estimating the moral character of these colonies have been such as no one re sident in England or Ireland can pretend to—from one whose credibility as a witness admits of no question, and whose civil and ecclesiastical station entitles his opinions to the most respected consideration—we leave it to work out its own way as a triumphant refutation of the calumnies we have been complaining of ; only requesting, that such of our British contemporaries as are accustomed to pay some attention to colonial affairs, will do New South Wales and Van Dieman's Land the justice to give publicity in England to our present article, —ifessy Winton c, Docke ray Y.

The Court at its rising adjourned to Monday the Ist of February. THE CONFLICT BETWEEN THE COURTS OF ALDERAEN AND COMMON COUNCIL. The sub-committee of the Common Council met, on the subject of the refusal of the Lord Mayor to put the question for the third reading of the Bill to alter the qualification of the candidates for the Common Council. —Mr. Peacock in the chair. The resolution passed at former meetings, that the rights and liberties of the citizens were endangered by the proceedings of the Court of Aldermen, and pledging the Members to adopt and enforce all such lawful, ust, and reasonable measures as shall preserve to the citizens of London the right to alter their municipal institutions, to meet the increasing commerce of the City, and in con formity with the intelligence and wants of the times, was read. Mr. ANDERTON said that unless Mr. Ashurst intended to address the committee he would read a requisition, which he had submitted to several of the members, and which he had intended to present to the Lord Mayor. Mr. ASHURST was obliged to his friend Mr. Anderton, who had left the requisition in his hands until the pre sent meeting took place. He requested that the former resolution might be read that the meeting might act conscientiously, by redeeming their pledge to their con stituents. The difficulty with a popular and numerous body was to pursue unity of action. Though they all well knew the reasons which induced the Court of Aldermen to engage in the present struggle, the only question before the Court of Common Council at the present moment was the refusal of the Lord Mayor to put a question regularly moved, and the right of the Court of Common Council to insist upon his putting it, or having it put, by an officer of the Court. The Lord Mayor was merely the minister of the Court to preserve order and regulate the speakers, not to license or suppress discussion, but if he would refuse to pat a question to the Court, he possessed the power to suppress any law, improvement, or even an effort to make one, and the Court must assemble to discharge such duties as it should please him to permit. The pre sent question was a lawful question. The Lord Mayor had submitted it twice to the Court, on the first and second reading of the Bill, and would, they all knew, have put it upon the occasion in question, but that the Aldermen wished to raise the struggle which they knew must come upon that Bill rather than upon others which were to give the freedom without fine to all the rated inhabitants residing in the city, and to controul their irresponsibility. They had an instinct which told them that, if the Corporation were thrown open, elections for life and irresponsibility would cease. They dreaded Parliament, but if they could not allow reform to come from within, it must come from without. The committee were under obliga tion to his friend for suspending the requisition. They needed not to do more now than to insist upon having the question put. If they did not insist upon that, they would surrender the primary right upon which all others depended.—(Cheers.) Mr. H. L. JONES argued earnestly and strongly in favour of insisting upon putting the question. That question arose upon a report from the Committee ap pointed by the Court, who had received the report and proceeded with the Bill the committee had prescribed, and it was impossible that the Lord Mayor, or the speaker of any legally constituted assembly, could say, "you shall not proceed with the business of a report you I have received." If such was the case, the Lord Mayor I might practically suppress the Court, and say that no question should be put for receiving a report of which his Lordship did not approve.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. ANDERTON said he was desirous of unanimity above all things, and would not press the requisition. The committee then proceeded to fix a day for bring ing up the information required, from the several officers, and appointed Wednesday, the 13th inst., to call together the general committee of members. SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL SOCIETY. The quarterly general court of the governors of this society was held at the offices, 74, King William-street, yesterday, John Wild, Esq., in the chair. From the statement of the secretary, it appeared that the bequest of Mr. Wright, of 596/. 12s. 8d , to the funds of the society, which had been contested by his executors, was paid on the 4th of last December, and that a donation of 100/., as well as remittances from China, had been received that morning. The receipts for the past quarter amounted to 1,876/. 2s. Id., which, after deducting the necessary expenses, left a balance in the treasurer's hands of 380/. Os. Id. The number of patients received during the past quarter was 813, of whom several had been discharged. Thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the meet ing separated. We are gratified to observed the progressive in vc s e i a o s n e s that N is e t: k y i n o g r k p , l i a n c t e o o t n his th p e or im te p r, or h t y at t i h on e roefgporiaor liners. Scarcely one of these fine vessels now arrive without a considerable portion of their cargo being e & d .s singly, superior lhye, description,i u a li boxes,ty h ua e lhdd (hwe from eers (were they is generally of a composed of wheat, flour, cheese, beef, pork, lard, ap ples,pveareexcarefullypose exposed to the great heat of the hold, caused by t h b t e e h y i e nng t o u t rpentine, &c., of which the other portions o f t h e cargo cons i st ) , arrive in good condition ; but, from the fineness of the quality and great weight, generally 561bs. each, and upwards, and the reasons before stated, they are occa sionally much injured. This might in a great measure be obviated by the erection of " stages" or shelves, similar to those in use in the Rotterdam traders, between decks, by which means they can be placed in well-aired situa tions, and thus secure their transit in good condition. The apples have arrived this season in very bad condi tion, scarcely three-fifths being worth the freight and charges. It is well known that with apples, bruised by coming iu contact with one another, decay commences immediately; and, from their being packed in barrels and rolled from one place to another during the process of shipment, landing, &c., their total destruction is almost ensured. Thig might be entirely prevented were they packed with fine mahogany saw-dust, in cases, from 10 to 12 feet long, by 11 feet wide, and about one foot deep. Such would always require to be moved by hand, The fruit would escape injury by rolling to and fro, and we might then calculate upon being abundantly sup plied with those delicious specimens the "Lady" and " New Town Pippin," &c., &c. Islas PRODUCE.—The subjoined list includes the importations of provisions from the Irish ports into the British metropolis during the period comprising from the 21st ultimo to the 4th instant, inclusive, viz.:--416 bales and hampers of hams, 100 packages of linens, 130 of middles, 5,294 hampers and bales of bacon, 4,690 peck ages of pork, 19,302 firkins and other packages of butter, 20 packages of shoulders, 40 of waste, 1,290 hampers and tierces of beef, 946 casks of porter, 1,655 casks of lard, 251 boxes of eggs, 26 casks of whisky, 56 packages of malt, 291 of paper, 40 casks of ale, several of biscuits, 409 of general provisions, 110 packages of tongues, 730 of soap, 19,185 quarters and 120 bags of oats, 17 bales of bops, 34 packages of soap, 193 pigs, 10 oxen, 320 sheep, 152 packages of fowls, besides 53 packages of fur s, 12 barrels of powder, an al a variety of other articles, both of food and general merchandise, which need not be more particularly noticed. This list includes the arrivals nt the port of London up the latest returned period, and it may be mentioned that, on the other hand, tranship ments of foreign grain have taken place through the British metropolis to the Irish ports, which is evidence of the mutual traffic for such supplies existing between the two portions of the United Kingdom, at the same time showing the exact extent to which they are taking place from Ireiand for consumption here at the present time. OMNIBUS PUBLICITY COMPANY. —Yesterday several omnibuses belonging to this newly-formed company were started for the conveyance of passengers from the Great Western Railway to Gricechurch-street, and from Brent ford to the Bank, and from Paddington to the Strand. In the omnibuses compartments are filled up with adver tising cards, one toot square, which are offered to the public at ss. per quarter. The newly-started vehicles are well filled with advertisements. • • Yr• Despatches were sent off last evening from the Colonial office for the Governor of the Mauritius. STEAM NAVIGATION. The new law to regulate steam navigation and to require sea-going vessels to carry boats, which was passed in August list, came into force on the lit of January. There are some provisions in the statute (9 and 10 Vict., cap. 100) which are now briefly noticed, having reference to the numerous steamers on the Thames. By the 9th clause, every steam-vessel when meeting or passing any other steam-vessel is to pass, as far as may be safe, on the port side of such vessel; and every steam-vessel on a river or narrow channel is to keep, as far as is practicable, to the starboard side of such vessel, and in default, the master or other person having charge of the vessel is to forfeit a sum not exceeding 50/. In the two following clauses, power is given to the Admiralty to make regulations respecting the exhibition of " lights" at night, which regulations are to be published in the London Gazette, and then to take effect. By the 12th section, vessels within twenty miles of the coast are to exhibit " lights" at night, and in default to pay a sum not exceeding 201.; " and the owner of every steam-vessel in which such light shall not be exhibited, as aforesaid, shall not bo entitled to recover any recompense or damage whatsoever which may be sustained in consequence of any other vessel running foul thereof:" The 13 th section is in the follow ing words:—" And be it enacted,•that if any damage to any person or property shall be sustained in conse quence of the non-observance, as respects any vessel, of the rules contained in the two enactments relative to the passing of steam-vessels, and to the exhibiting of lights, hereinbefore con•ained, the same shall in all respects be and the r deemed, in th e a b sence o f p roo f to the contrary, to have been o occas i oned by the wilful default of the master or Person having the c h a r g e of such steam-vessels, proceedings, master or other person shall be subject in all sequenciensgsorhether civil or criminal, to the legal con- Cons in the ne f B rv ue l h aw w and October, tOhcetogboeord, tewoooddieticloecoa enacted t n d eglect."

SHOOTING MOORS LIABLE TO POOR-RATES. The Parochial Board of Kingussie and Insh held an adjourned meeting on the 15th December last, for the purpose of imposing a new assessment for the support of the poor, for the year 1847. The meeting was interest. ing on two grounds. Ist, By an unanimous resolution to alter the mode of assessment, and to classify agri cultural and other tenants alike. In 1846, the occupants of houses in the villages of Kingussie, Newtonmore, and Insh were triply assessed. The poor mechanics and labourers felt this as a great hardship. 2d, It was re solved that the respective heritors of lands should be required to produce rent-rolls of their estates, including the rent of the shootings. The Board came to this decision on the principle argued in the House of Lords, and sustained by their Lordships, in the case of Mac pherson v. Craigie, on the 13th August last—viz., that the profits produced by the sale of shootings formed part of the rental of an estate, liable to the usual burdens imposed upon rent. Lords Brougham, Cottenham, and Campbell were unanimous in their opini on , an d gave their decision without starting a single doubtful point. Hitherto the system of allowing the profits of shootings to pass untaxed for the supp ort o f t h e poor h as b een general, but there is now a clear decisive example to encourage pirocial boards t o assess f or the poor b oth the landlord and his southron friends, who for a brief season sojourn among our wilds in pursuit of game, and thus to a certain extent relieve th e i n d us t r i ous hard wrought rate-payer. It is argued that, in the preamble of the new Act, where " lands and heritages " are de fined, while " fishings , fresh-waters," &c., are made assessa ble for the purposes of thi s A ct , no ment i on i s madeo of gameshootings, a n d t h at therefore they are excluded. Though no lawyer o f common sense, l ega l ly confirmed by the decision above referred to, teaches that " grouse and ptarmiga n , h are and conies, " &c., are as much the live produce of t h e l and, as are the sheep ' and enabli ng t h e s h ep h er d , w i th plump c arcases, to c l ear off scores pasturingthe with his landlord. — lnverness Courier. their fleecy on e o a our coats hi and ll v STATE OF TRADE. A retrospect of the lace trade for the past year pre sents some reason for confidence in the prospect for the future. It has been brought int o a l most di rect competi tion with French articles, and this has certainly not been without its use, though severe, owing to the predilection felt for foreign grounds and styles. The Nottingham trade has never made, during any previous year, so great an advance i n the appli▪ cation of the true principles of taste to their designs, as within the last twelve months. This has been followed by a satisfactory increase in the demand for the best class of fancy articles. It is true that the lever fancy goods have been depressed in price far below their value ; but thi▪ s has arisen from too large quantities of the- same patterns being forced upon the market ; and can only be remedied by the application of mechanical improvements, affording the means o f ra pid and inexpensive changes of pattern. If to these be added, excellence in design, this department of the business will resume a profitable activity. There has been lessened consumption of patent plat laces, cheaper improved Mechlins having taken their place. In plain goods ex cellence of materials and workman ship is more soug ht for than formerly. Notwithstanding some changes in the channels of demand and supply, which during the early months of the year considerably unsettled local trade matters, the total amount of busin ess d one h as been an average one ; the machinery has been as regn larly employed as usual, and wages have been maintained. The stocks remaining on hand are not heavy. The most difficult feature we have to note at present is the advance in yarns, and of course, in prime cos t. Thi s has been scarce l y a t a ll realised as yet on wrought goods. The past week has been without change in prices, hut with small demand;' all parties seem waiting for the breaking up of the frost, to bring orders from the Continent, breaking dgive impulse to the country trade.— Nottingham Review. THE SLT ONE CAUGHT AT LAST.—Mr. Butt, of the Borrow Farm, Martley, had a rather curious incident on Thursday morning last, on his premises, in the cap ture of a fine dog fox. Much more frequently than was pleasant, his poultry had disappeared, to the annoyance of his household. The query was—how, and in what manner, they went, the prevailing opinion being that the rats were th e n i ghtly poachers; an d to r id t h e premises of these supposed troublesome marauders traps were set about the hen roost. On the above morning, just about the time the family were rising, an unusual sound pro ceeded from the quarter in which the poultry were lodged, and a capture was the instant impression. All hurried to the spot, when, to their astonishment and amusement, not a rat, but au animal of a larger growth (as much like a f ox as may b e ) was secure l y fastene d by the leg in a trap, but using his best efforts, trap and all, to beat a retr eat f rom a spot where hi s recept i on was .more pinching than palatable. Finding, however, that he could not so nimbly clear himself from the ground, already too hot for him, with one:leg in the stocks (viz., the rat trap at his heels), he nobly ceased the struggle and yielded with becoming pluck up to his pursuers. Then came the consu l tat i on i n what manner should h i s devastating influence be checked. The venerable owner of the massacred poultry is too good a sportsman to mur der a gallant fox in cold blood, and accordingly the nig• gestion was acted upon of transporting the nightly thief to the more extended domain of the noble owner of Wit ley-court. There bold reynard is now comfortably and quietly ensconced, doubtless not a little proud that his sly tricks should have procured him so good a master at lust.— Worcester Journal. 0447. . 6s. 7d. in the pound, on any Saturday, at the office of Mr. Green, Aldermanbury.

MOLASSES.—A considerable increase has taken place in the demand for all descriptions of West India this week, and arise in the value of is per cwt took place. The quantity sold amounted to 400 puns, and the operations would have been upon a larger scale had it not been for the reluctance of merchants to sell. The demand has been partially specula tive, founded on the faith of Molasses being used in the dis tilleries and breweries without restriction. COFFEE.—An increased desire has been manifested to operate in West India this week, merchants have confidence, and supplied the market sparingly with all sorts.
