As we have still two months of the 37 ; c Ai tb run, and the most favourable season for gold mining ii ,approaching, our exports this year will probably rfin up to 120 tons. But it will per- Imps occur to observant .men in Europe that a little colony, containing about 350,000 people, whi c h manages to ship annually a hundred tons of solid gold, deserves rather more attention than has yet been accorded to it by the world at large.

CLERKENWELL.—°}IARGE or ASSAULT.—A re spectably-dressed young woman, who gave the name of Mary Ronacb, and, who stated that she resided at No. 12, Glasshouse-street, Vauxhall, was charged with assaulting John Sutton, who was described as a surgeon, residing at No. 10, Goswell-road, St. Luke's. Mr. Wakeling appeared for the prosecution. It will be remembered that " Dr. Sutton" was brought to this court on a warrant, and was remanded for a Week, on the charge of attempting to extort money by publish ing a certain letter which had been sent to him in his medical capacity, by a Mr. Harrison, a farmer, residing at Sleaford, in Lincolnshire. On that occasion Dr. Sutton stated that he resided at 15, Frederick-place, Goswell road, and was described in the newspapers , as'" Dr. Sut ton, alias Dr. Sidney Hall, alias Dr. Manning." The matter having been compromised, the charge was with drawn, and Dr. Hall wrote letters from 10, Goswell-road, St. Luke's, stating that he had no connection with Dr. Sutton. On the present occasion it will be seen that " Dr. Sutton " gave the address that Dr. _Hall wrote from, and from which the latter said-that he did not even know the former. Mr. Wakeling said that in this case the defendant - bad been brought to this court no leas than three' or four times for assaults on his client. On the present occasion she went to inquire after his child, which was dead. Defendant made some remarks. , Mr. Wakeling—Even here she cannot keep her temper. She strack him a very violent blow in the face, knocked him down, and bit his fingers. All that be wanted - was that the defendant should fined responsible bail to keep the peace. Ultiinately the defendant was fined 10s., and in default of payment two days' imprisonment. SUN LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY, LONDON.

Chapman and Hall, 198, "Since the date of our last summary a complete reaction has taken place in trade. Sales have been numerou., and the roads to the gold fields have become lined with drays laden with imported goods for the c!)nsumption and use of the inhabitants of the inland districts. This has imparted a cheerful tone to the market, without leading to any rise in prices. The rat at which the chief articles of im port are selling - are, with few exceptions, remune rative to th shippers. Were it not that the com mercial advices of the last two English mails spoke of somewhat excessive shipments in the month of July, the m trket here would be very firm. If these shipments- are to be taken as indicating what we have to expect for the future, our stores will again be crowded, and our markets heavy ; if merely a temporary increase, or to meet the demands of the season, they will come to a good market."

At the sitting of the Court, Mr, F. I. Smith, on behalf of the plaintiff, applied that the letters which had been produced by the defendant's counsel should be impounded ; but the Chief Justice said. the application had better be made to - Mr. Justice Willes, in his private room. Subse quently, his lordship said that he had consulted Mr. Jus tice Willes, and the letters must remain'iu the hands of the Associate, to await an application that might be made on additional materials. COURT .OF EXCHEQUER. 'Before the Lord Chief Baron and a Special Jury.) CRISP V. SIR R. GILL. This was an action, brought by the plaintiff, for slander, the defence was, the words uttered were true. Mr. Slade and Mr. Sanders appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Edwin James and Mr. Powell for the defence. The plaintiff was a butcher, at Bath, and the defendant, while on a visit to that town on the 16th of July, 1856. bought some meat at the plaintiff's shop, amongst which was a piece of neck Of - mutton, for which the defendant paid, amounting to 18s. 96d. The meat purchased was wrapped up in a clean cloth, and carried to his own car riage in his presence.. Some days after the defendant called at the plaintiff's shop, and, in the presence of several cus tomers, made use of the words, " I meant'to have been customer to your shop again had you not taken upon your self to change my meat; you extracted the lamb I bought and put in a piece of mutton which I could not eat." The defendant was told by the plaintiff's wife he had bought mutton and not lamb, upon which he walked out of the shop. The plaintiff met the defendant and complained of the manner in which he had endeavoured to cake away his character, when the defendant used the gross expres sion' "D— you and your character as well," and it turned out that he had followed the defendant to the public li brary ant abused him, saying, "If he called himself a gentleman ke was ashamed of it." During the trial some observations were made by the learned counsel with regard to duelling. He said when a man is insulted a duel would take place. The Lord Chief Baron said he believed those days were gone by, and it was an honour to the country it was so. air. ia..ie bait/ ILL a......... way.,.. apologise for his impertinence waii•t7.--!!" - t.... refused to Mr. Edwin James addressed the jury for the defendaui, urgiog that the defendant was justified in the course he had pursued. The publication of the slander complained of had been done by the plaintiff h i m se lf by his abusing him in the public library. The Lord Chief Baron, in summing up, said if the defend ant used the words complained of bona fide, the defendant was entitled to a verdict ; on the other hand, if he had acted maliciously, the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict. The jury having retired, after an absence of three quar ters of an hour, returned a verdict for the defendant, expressing a wish that each party ought to pay kis own costs. learned judge said the jury had nothing to do with costs. Verdict for defendant. The other cases disposed of daring the day presented no feature of real public interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE —Feb. 9. FERENQE OF THE POLICE.—A gentleman whose name did MANSION-HOUSE. ALLEGED IMPR OPER INTER not transpire, complained to Mr, Alderman Wilson (who sat for the Lord Mayor), of the interference of the police in what he considered to be an unjustifiable manner. He stated that on Satur.lay evening, being on his way to a dinner party, he stopped in the open space between the the Royal Exchange and Exchange-buildi n g s, for purpose of having his boots cleaned, as thole w ere several boys with their brushes standing there. Just as one of his boots was finished, however, a policeman came up, who compelled all the boys to move off, notwithstanding his remonstrancea ; and although one of the boys off-red to cleanse the other boot if complainant would go with him down a neighbour ing court, the policeman would not allow him to do so, and complainant consequently was compelled to go away with one boot clean and one dirty, which made him look perfectly ridiculous. There was, he conceived, no grounds for the policeman's interference, as the boys were stationed on an open space where they offered no obstruction to public traffic. Alderman Wilson—Certainly not. Where is the in spector t Why was this boy sent away Inspector Scott—The boys belonging to the schools are allowed to stand there till four o'clock. Out of these other boys some turn out to be thieves occasionally, and so we do not allow them to stand. Alderman Wilson—That is just what they and I —com plain of. These boys try to earn a n honest penny, but you t a l ya away, should Tuol afterd not :o msi xp b l oa e i en a l ao l l nc o kt w i e w d to i Dhe will not allow them to do so, and compel them to become thieves. Ido not see why clean boots in the streets as well as th e B r igade boys ; and at all events, they Mightbe allowed the Brigade boys are gone you take the policeman's number ? Complainant—No, I did not; for when I complained, was only he told me I had bettor come here, as he carry ing out his instruction'. Alderman Wilson—There have been no such orders is sued from this Court, and even if a boy has just come out of Holloway, that is no reason why he should not be al lowed to get his bread honestly in this way, and I think it is exceedingly improper to prevent them. Has there been a case of this kind before? Mr. Goodman (chief clerk)—No; this is the first case of the kind. Alderman Wilson—Well, I should like to see the police man, to tell him that when a boy is getting an honest liv ing, without obstruct in g an y p ublic thoroughfare, it is very hard that he should be interfered with ; and in this case the matter is made worse, became it seems he actually compelled a gentleman to go to a dinner party with one boot cleaned and one dirty. Inspector Scott—But these boys often get together in groups of five or six, and then when a gentleman stops to have his boots cleaned they sometimes pick his pocket of his handkerchief. Alderman. Wilson—That is the gentleman's look-out. Inspector Scott—l don't say that this boy was a thief, but some of them are. Alderman Wilson—Well, that is no reason why you should punish those who are not. I am quite certain the Lord Mayor has not issued such orders to the police, and if the Police Commissioner has done so I should like you to tell him what I have said. inspector Scott said he would certainly do so. The complainant then withdrew, alter thanking the alderman for his courtesy.

Dr. Fergusson stated that he had been continually an noyed by the prisoner for the last sixteen years, although the prisoner was a complete stranger to him. The prisoner was in the habit of coming to his house, accosting him in the street, and writing letters to him, and judging from the defendant's appearance and his acts, he had no doulat his mind was deranged, and that it only required a moment of irritation to occur to render him a dangerous person. The prisoner believed he was dogged by the police and the Guards in perple and fine linen, and he was always apply ing to him to get him a wife. Lord Clare was persecuted in the same way, and it would be sufficient evidence of the man's mind to show a letter in which be bad proposed himself as a husband for Lord Clare's daughter. The prisoner hoped Dr. Fergusson would take a different view of his condition. He would faithfully promise, if released, never to annoy the doctor again. His business was with Lord Clare more particularly. Dr, Fergusson said the prisoner knew no more of Lord Clare than of him. The prisoner was f, r‘nerly in the Irish constabulary, but having quarrelled with his chief and challenged him, he was dismissed. From that time he had been a constant nuisance both to himself and to Lord Clare. If a lady patient drove up to his house for advice the pri soner was sure to send bim a letter begging him to use his good offices to get him the lady for a wife. Beadon asked if the prisoner ha I been in custody fora similar offence before? Dr. Fergusson replied, repeatedly. Mr. Beadon thought it would be unsafe to allow the pri soner to go at liberty, and therefore directed him - to be taken to the workhouse, where the state or his mind would be properly ascertained. MARYLEBONE.—DISTRESSING CASE.—Mr. Brough ton handed to our reporter a communication made to him by a poor w'dow named Allsopp, whose five sons had been killed in battle while fighting in the service of their Queen and country. The letter received by the worthy magis trate ran thus : "9, Brown-street, Bryanston-square.

I have lost all.! lam now a poor destitute widow, the grand-daughter of a general, and the daughter of a captain, all slain for England's glory. My husband was an officer, but he had to sell his commission to pay his debts, which deprived him of a pen sion at his death. Since the death of my husband, and the loss of my poor children, I never received a shil ling from Government. Worthy air, that is the thanks I received for bringing up five beautiful young men to be slain.

" E. ALLSOPP. " To his Worship the Sitting Magistrate." Accompanying the above was a note from Col. Phipps, in reply to an application made by the widow to H.R. H. Prince Albert : - " Windsor Castle, March 26, 1856. " Lieut.-Colonel Phipps has received' the commands of his Royal Highness Prince Albert to inform Mrs. Allsopp that the very numerous and pressing. applications for pecu niary assistance must prevent compliance with her request. The enclosure contained in Mrs. Allsopp's letter is herewith returned. The poor widow was, by direction of the magistrate, as sisted to the amount of 75., which was given to her to Mr. Franklin, the fisher, on Saturday last, tho day following that upon which her sad complaint by letter was received and made. Mr. Broughton considered that the caso was one of a most distressing kind, and he hoped that the bereaved mother of the sons who had sacrificed their lives in war would ultimately, upon further inquiry in the proper quar ter, be placed beyond the reach of want. SOUTHWARB.—A HARD CASE.—Two young women, of respectable appearance, who were described as ballet girls at one of the prindipal theatres of the metropolis, were )obarged with uttering a counterfeit, half-sovereign to a linendraper iu Newington-causeway. , - it 'appeared froin the evidence that on Tuesday evening •the prisoners went into prosecutor's shop, and selected a silk dress. In payment they handed to the shopman what appeared 'to be 'a half-sovereign. The shopman went to the , cashier, who examined it, and being soft, and of a whitish appearance, he placed it in a detector, when it bent like lead. The prisoners were at once detained, and given into the custody of 9. police constable, for uttering a counterfeit halfjpovereign. It was shown that the young women were respectable, and not known as common uttorers of base coin ; consequently the magistrate, with his usual discernment, 'discharged them on their own recognisances to appeal this day. After the young women had left the court on Wednesday, Mr. Edwin, the chief clerk,. ex amined the half-sovereign carefully, and had his suspicion that it was a genuine coin. He sent it to a goldemith's in the vicinity of the court, where it was tested, and found to be genuine. The cause of its being so soft was in the coining, and the whiteness was no doubt the result of a chemical' powder used by actors and others engaged at theatres; and there was not the least doubt at all that the young girls, 'when they uttered it, believed it to be genuine. As soon as the linendraper ascertained that he had made an error in mistaking the genuineness of the coin he com municated '‘Vith the young women, and after apologising for locking 'them up like felons, presented them with a sovereign, which they took, DUBLIN AND DROGHEDA!

We quote the follow ing : —Southwick Park, Fareham, Hants, Oa. 31, 1848. Gentlemen, I sincerely thank you for your kind attention, When I began taking the Revalenta I was in as deplorable a condition as can well be imagined. I was confined to my bed, and so weak that I could neither stand nor walk, suffering severely from flatulency, constipation, and indigestion, and being compelled to have recourse to aperients every second or thirlday; and, upon one occasion, I swallowed no less than seven doses within twenty-eight hours, under medical advice: There was a giddiness in my head, and a singing in my right ear, that when I turned my bead on, the pillow it resembled the sound produced by a light touch on a musical glass. I had a pain and fort of fullness across, the chest, a sore throat, and 'a slight cough ; but the pain around my loins was so great that I could not remain in the same position for ten minutes all night long. The principal seat of the pain seemed to be just below the ribs on my left side, and about three inches from the backbOne. I commenced taking Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica morning and evening, boiled in water and salt ; and in less than a fortnight my appetite was greatly improved, and flatulency: and constipation so far vanished that I have not tasted a pill or drug of any kind ' since. I am much stronger, • can walk steadier, aid less like a drunken man, Sze.—Jenx yess, Land -steward. -- Supported liy testimonials from the celebrated Professors of ChemistrY Dr. Andrew Ure ; Dr. Shorland ; Dr. Harvey ; Dr. Campbell.; Dr. Gattiker ; Dr. Wurzer ; Dr. Ingram Lord Stuart fle Decies; the• Dowager Countess of Castle stuart ; Diajor-Gen.

The demand for gold is on the increase, and the competiion among the bankers is keeping up the price at the gold fields, so that the supply in town is not equal to the demand. The price is from 765. 3.1. to '7Bs. according to quality, and from the ex cha,!ge having been.altered to one p.m. Our Ade laide neighbours are using every effort to establish a trade t ► our gold fields by the Murray, and have shown some spirit in doing so, particularly at the Ovens. Having brought up goods by water, they are anxious to make returns to Adelaide in gold and black sand through the same channel, but a diffi culty has arisen regarding a port on the Muri ay for exp:niting g ld, the gold export duty act naming only seaboard- ports. The news from the dig,gings is encouragine from the discovery of new field, and fair accounts from the old ones. We have it reported that rich quartz reefs have been found at South Muckleford, and at Mount Black wood. At Tarrengower the quartz reefs are very productive. From M'lvor we hear that the quartz claims are producing a fair return, and that there has been a rush to a new field near Sander's Sta tion, th-s sinking being only about nine feet, and the gold plentiful.

The Frontier Times has the following :—" A correspondent writes from Fort Beaufort, under date the 9th inst.:— " 'I regret to state that our farmers are in a rather : gloomy mood, fearing that they will not be allowed to reap their present splendid crops, as all accounts from Caffreland agree as to the most wan ton destruction of food by the Caffres. From the statement of a person who has been a resident among the Tambqokies and Kreh's people it ap pears that this state of things arises more from the arbitrary will of the chiefs than from the free inch nation of the people. Still there is abundance of corn from the last year's crops among the Tam bookies. During this person's stay he came into familiar conversation with a great many of the rebel Hottentots, many of whom expressed a wil lingnesa to enter English service.' " Letters received by the last mail from the fron tier," the same paper says, " State that Sandilli's people have now com menced ploughing. It is right, however, that we should mention that a letter from a well-informed quarter says substantially that Kreli has succeeded in turning the minds of his people to war, and that the authorities in British Caffraria have been a little duped by the artifice of the Caffres, inasmuch as corn to sow, while, instead of deal of seed been saved for fed." it has / 11.0%.,11..1.
