CORFU, Barr. 16. '
The 30th regiment stationed at Cephalonia, and
the 41st, digitated at Zente, have been infested
by the gold fever, and a sort of plot has bus. I
formed among the men to strike their Akers with
the express purpose of being transported for a teemse years, and thus obtaining their discharge Eros the
service and a free passage to Australia. No lies

ftir that an example must be made in
order to cheek a crime, which would be encouraged
rather than checked if all were transported, ordered
the Denten°e of death to be executed in one case. It
was passed on Friday, and on Monday morning the
prisoner was shot in the fort of Vida A com-
pany from each regiment attended. The man
mesehed on to the ground, follow', his wan,

men were told off from the 49th regiment, and they
bed to select a musket each from a stack of 12, 10 of
whisk only were loaded with ball, so that no man
Mai be certain if he were the executioner. The
sentence of the court-martial was read over to the
man. He then knelt down only eight paws in front
of his twelve comrades, threw open his jacket ; the
words, " ready, present, fire," were given, and he fell
dead, with one hall through his head and others in
the chest. Much interest had been exerted for him,
as, although only a private, his father is a captain in
the army, and many petitions were sent to the p-
utrid, but he returned them all with a simple nota-
tion " mistaken humanity." There seems to be a
feeling here that the general should have waited foe
an approval of the sentence by the authorities at
home.

PROCEEDLNGS OF SIR H. WARD.
Since I last wrote there have been numerous and
angry discussions in the chamber on the proposed
constitutional reforms, and on financial business. On
the 30th of August Sir H. Ward sent • message to
the Legislative Assembly, specifying the changes
which ho had alluded to in address at the open-
ing of the session. He commences by announcing his
assent to a new electoral law, clearly specifying the
conditions on which the franchise is obtained, and re-
modeticitetthe registration commission in order to se-
cure impartiality. With rega:d to the liberty
01 reek he says that useless restrictions
en this liberty are eastrary to all English feeling,
sad that the representative system cannot be preen.
ealy =mini on willent publicity and full liberty of
diewifr Bet be says it was the misfortune of
the iamb le pas hen a iron of absolute metric-
the Is use et milledeei Ism" without the smallest
precaution or pomades of any sort. In Greece
i trial by jury s applied to all crimes, except those of
the weer. In the lonian Islands trial by jury is
applied to offences of the press only. In England,
France, Germany, Piedmont, and Belgium, guaran-
tees are required before • jouresl eon be esta-
blished. In these islands anyone may print what
he either dare my or write without becoming
respeesible to the law. Cousequently, in 1861, the
prop of Bente and Cephalonia pisNobsd • series of
sedges purely calculated to excite hatred against the
ltgovernment. Such articles would have been
paished in England by fine or imprisonment. Yet
• Bente jury supported the delinquents, anil Sir
Henry. thought himself obliged to protect the peace
of society by using his powers of. high police, in
which decision he was supported both by Lord Grey
and Sir J. Pakington.
With regard to this power of high police, Sir
Henry states that he is specially instructed not to
yield, or in any way compromise, the rights of the
crown unless the Assembly consent to the following
conditions i—lst. Without sstablishisg any cervr.
ship of Pie press prior to publication, he .requires
re-
epensibility, and therefore demands that before any
jeered is established 1001. shall be deposited, or
lgood security offered for 1501. There being no tax
on newspapers in the islands, such a guarantee ap-
pears small. 2nd. Some change must be made re-
specting " responsible editors;" at present some No
in the lowest class of society receives • small monthly
salary, simply to ammo the risk of any legal peosity
the !burned may incur. 3rd. Trial by jury to be sato
pended until the above changes became law in eases
of libel against the state or public functionaries. 4th.
A modification of the penal-code shall be Morbid,
authorising the punishment of such libels by penal-
ties of the 4th or sth degree of the code, or by a fine
of 61. to 601.
The condition of these changes being accepted by
the Assembly, Sir Henry states that her Majesty
will yield the powers of high police, hitherto consti-
tutionally exercised, and that for the future no one
shall be subject to banishment by order of the Lord
High Commissioner, or held responsible to an/ other
authority than those of the tribunals of the country.
-A• further states that if this is satisfactorily

Henry
.1 he is further authorised to announce :

'flanged ,
I. The assent of her M .jesty to the proposal that
the present biennial session of the Asee-mbly be con-
verted into an annual session, the right of dissolution
or prorogation held by the crown remaining un-
altered.
2. The same assent to a bill modifying the respon-
sibility and organised= of the Senate.
3. Assent to en alteration in the constitution of
the Supreme Council of Justice adding a third lonian
member, which would give the casting vote, in case
of dispute, to the lonians.
4. Assent to a bill te-organising municipal insti-
tutions and improving local ktoversinent.
Bosse other matters of minor importance follow,
sad the sewer terminates by cautioning the
Assembly that factious conduct may render any con-
Mitutional government impossible. He warns them
we to empire against the political system of which
they keys a part and have sworn to maintain, and
bah them giddy that they alone are the means of
of the pewees of high police, so contrary
to the el a free constitution. He offers to sub-
stitute w for despotic power. It is for them to
sesept or event the offer on the conditions above
stated.
I need eat enlarge upon all the angry discussions
which followed the meseage. Snake it to say,
yesterday Sir Henry dissolved the Assembly, and
made a speech in Italian, reproving them pretty
sharply for their conduct in rejecting the gracious
oats of her Majesty.
Hi says:
If the representative of the Quinn of England Maim in
these islands the power of high police, yam ere rnpoe-
sible for it, for you have refused to hiss then moderate
legal powers, the necessity of which sone of you, in your
recent amfeetraes with me, Gould deny. If the country.
languish fur 18 months without the popular besnehof the
legislature taking any part in its affairs you are
restrasiblo for it, for you have refused the annual
se nion which I was authorised by her Majesty to propose.
lf, in the sours* of the next 18 months, many sets of go-
vernment are pared, you alone are responsible for it; in
you have declined the remedy which I recommended. If
the Lewd High Conmaksioner and the President continue to
far part of the Sapiens Conned, you an responsible for
it; for yes have rejected a change which the protecting
'overtly' less willing to concede, in compliance w.th your
supposed desires. In short, yes have had, and lost, a great
opportunity; and,whatever be the pantry which bra Majesty
may now think proper to adopt here whatever be
the use which I, as her Majesty's repreeentati.e, may
be forced to make of the powers that are left to me ander 1

for it bet yourselves, for you have rejected, by a undo it;
of one, en arrangement which would have dnermined the
rights of all the constitutional powers, and substituted for
the will of the individual the peaceful authority of the law.
I cannot disguise from you that, in my judgment,
you have made a great mistake—of which you will,
in all probability, have ample time to repent. As re-
gards the press, you have retained a nominal liberty, epos
which I have a most effectual check. As regards theS e•

INTERESTING NEWS FROM THE DIGGINGS.
We have this week seen a letter from an emigrant
from this town which furnishes some very interesting and
late intelligence from the Australian gold diggings, and
from which a few extracts will, no doubt, be read with in-
terne by those who are about to seek their fortune in this
land of premise. The letter is from Prahraw South Tura,
near Melbourne, and is dated in March, 1862. The writer
to his brother 'eye:
" I wrote to you in September last, informing you of the
Sydney gold gelds. I also wrote about Christmas, inform-1
leg you of our gold fields in Port Phillip, which, up to
the present, surpasses in richness all others yet discovered,
sad promise well for a continuance of the same, as oar
gold fields or diggings are spreading far and wide with
the greatest success. In my last I stated that I had
been two months at the diggings, during which time
I procured front the earth gold to the antswili
or value here of seventy pounds, which certainly paid
me will; but still I could not be classed anything like a
lucky gold digger, as many have made half their fortune is
leas time. I have just returned from say second spell of
three months: had Mrs. H. and C with me. They
have been troubled very much with a disease of the eye
called the blight, which we do not think much of in this
country. During our first two weeks of the throe mouths
I was not very well, and made but little more than what
paid for my gold digging license ; and dining the last five
weeks I procured about albs weight of gold, or 360 w, which
at 31. per oz., the present price here, gives me 1081 an 1
Mill I amfar from being a lucky geld digger. I premised
lawless tea, my best towards sending for you out. I
theendielisaid you, by a gentleman who will poet the letter
fee mom men as he lands, twelve ounces of gold, which I
=liwill be sufficient for the passage out of yourself, wife,
amily, as it will, in all probability, bring from
al es per ounce • • • I send for
lomat sad amity, knowing, as I do, that where dill.
pen is weal prosperity is certain here ; situated as things
are just now, that even your son weld es= sufficient ta
heap you all, as lads of 10 and 12 years are getting 30s. per
wok sad hoard for minding the tent, boiling the kettle,
and baking a few dampen tit the week, beeides what little
meld
tiny ems pick up, and that, in many instances, is more
atea datable their wages. Should you object to come out
when dub gsMilesean waits on you, I have requested hint te
seed me eat gash with the money, as in all probability the
pods which I have ordered would bring me 1001. for my
431., as all the waiting class have turned gold diggers. All
articles connected with labour are very high, as you will
see by the prices here ed. Men's strong boots, 11. •
women's cloth blots, 12e. ; slop-made Wellington boots;
11. 145.; bread, per lb., 3111. ; cheese, 24. 64. ; butter, 25.;
sugar, 3d. ; bacon, 2s. ; beef and mutton, 3d.; tea, 2e.;
efee, Is.; eggs, each, 4d.; milk, per quart, Is. Talton
have plenty of work at Is. per hour. Joiners and brick-
oaten are getting from 41. to U. per week. Blacksmiths
at the diggings see earning from 201. to 401. per
week ; in fact, there are very few working men to be get
at any price. As soon as you receive this, lose no time in
making preparation and inquiry, end it is a serious matter
to be one minute too late for a chip. You will have a deal
of time during your voyage to mend and make, or attend
to any little thing the childeila may want, end will pm
away many a leisure hour. And, above all things, take
this word of advice from me, as I know what charaeten
there are. Do Sot play one game of draughts oe board,
and keep your affairs entirely to yourselves. Place coal-
dense in no one. Say nothing about your friends and rela-
tions either in this eountry or in England, as you will have
to see your shipmates another day ; and if any Menses
arises, as is frequently the ease, when they know nothing
they can say nothing to harm you. Liverpool is the best
place for you to sail from, as they are the bent provisiened
vessels that come out, end I have seen advertisements from
there at 101. each ; and if such is still the ease, you will
have sufficient with what I have sent. Several of our
passengers made bargains with the ship agents for their
families at a mash lower rate than the prices advertised,
and thereby saved several pounds. . . . 11.1 i."

THE BALLOON EXCURSION OF MONDAY LAST.--
The amateur aeronaut who made one of the large party
who took an excursion in the monster balloon on Monday
laid, having surveyed the scene of their aurnerous mishap',
14111111 the following additiinal particulars ..—" Afraid of
elesiggerating, I find I really did not do isstice to the dam-
gem weencountered. Instead of 10 or 12 COSCUlllione'
s I
Ind we struck either the ground, trees, or rails no loon=
21 times, and with Increased violence each time, as is testi-
fied by the deeper indentations we made in the ground the
farther we proceeded. We passed, it appears at an eleva-
ting of 40 or 60 feet, very near East Ham Church tower.
Iliad we struck it, tearing along at that awful rate, many
mud have been killed. All the villagers at East Ham who
ems our fly ht and descents thought that none of co could
wraps with our lives, for Sul de•cribe the force with which
the car struck each succeeding object as something terrific
to behold. I was well repaid for my journey to East Ham
by one piece of intelligence I gathered from the villagers.
It appears that either the second or third person who
jumped from the car (thereby so much enhancing our dan-
ger) was thrown on the ground by the violence of the Call, ,
sad, while rising, was caught by one of the grappling irons ,
rested the body, and droned at that furious rate some 100 1
yards or more after the balloon. The villagers say he was
much hurt, but as It appears he afterwards walked to the
railway station, I think the punishment he received was
but a just one for the act be had committed."
CASE Or CARD.CHEATINO AT MASCHESTES.—A
man, named William M'Shane, an Irish horsedealer, from
the neighbourhood of Dundalk, was at Lees Fair, near
Wakefield, a few days since, and having disposed of his
stock, proceeded to Manchester. Whilst walking in Chapel-
street, Salford, about ten O'CIOCIL on Tuesday 'minor' he
met a man, named Richard Bainbridge' whom he had
known before. Bainbridge looked him if ha had sold his
horses, and on receiving an affirmative answer, invited him
to go to some house to play at cards. The man consented,
and they proceeded to the Rainbow, in Chapel•street, where
they sat down to play, meeting there • man named Richard
Donelly. They played at an Irish game, called' Twenty-
fives," until three &cloak in the morning, when bl'Shane
found that he had lest every farthing of his money,
amounting to 619. 10e. He became angry, and the two
men turned him out of the house. M'Shiane had recourse
to the police, who apprehended both the men, who were
well known to them. On one of them 2W. was found.
They %OM brought before the magistrates at Salford
Berengh Conn, but were remanded until to-day.

A LADS'S FOOT CUT OFF AT THE BHP:HMOS
Tuastnua.—The accident reported under this head in
Thursday's Express has terminated fatally. The un-
fortunate lady was a widow named Eastwood, and resided
la Edward-sucet. She had arrived at the Brighton ter-
minus from London shortly after 9 o'clock, and in stepping
from the carriage next We break whilst the train was in
motion, she miss. 4 the platform, and one foot went between

'begged under the carriage wheels, in spits of the attempt
to rescue her, and one of the wheels passed over her left
foot, aid nearly *evened it, whilst the other leg sustained
very serious injury. She was also much bruised about the
body. She was conveyed to the County Hospital, when it
was deemed expedient to amputate both legs. The opera-
tion was skilfully performed, 'he patient exhibiting great
