THE AUSTRALIAN MAIL&

(arum's Exnuess.)

SOUTHAMPTON, SArr. I&

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-
ship Pen, Captain Jamieson, with the heavy portion of the
Calcutta, China, and Australiaa mails, arrived this morning.
She brings 86 passengers, four packages specie, valise
19,1401. ; ten packages valuables, value 53,8807. ; also 888
packages general cargo, including 665 bales raw silk, value
60.0001. sterling.
The Para spoke off Lisbon on the 14th the Royal Mal
Company's steamer Magdalene, bound for the Basile, end
off Cape Roca the English yacht Columbine, steering earth ;
and on the 17th, off the Start, spoke the American ship
Coostellation, steering west.
Her Majesty's shire Pyscbe, Queen, and Hibernia were
at Malta; and at Gibraltar the Procris and /tadpole, the
American frigate Constellation, and the Italian corvettes
Valera* and Euridice, and frigate Re O.lantaomo.
The Spanish government have ordered for the eventtalities
of the service the assembling in the port of Malaga of the
war steamers Baenaventina, Alerts, Lepanto, and Ceres,
sad the Alava and Santa Tama, at Alicante, on account of
the recent occurrences at Melilla.

The Spanish frigate &p.m= and sloop Concordia
arrived at Cadiz on the 9th.

The Spanish screw frigate Petronila, 34 guns, was
wrecked on the Bth ult., while entering the port of Mariel,
in the waters of the Havannah. The crew snooerded in
taking ont the guns and stores, but the hall and machinery
were expected to be lost.
Her Majesty's troop ship Greaten left Gibraltar, on the
9th inst., with the Sod battalion of the 7th Fusiliers, for
Malta.

The effect of the short supply cf rain lest season was
beginning to be severely felt in the country about Tangier,
where nearly all the wells and springs are dried up
Intelligence from Mau* lays that the Spanish govern-
meat intends sending a division of 5,000 men
to Melilla in order to effect a settlement of the
boundary question, and keep the Riffle= in check.
Three Spanish war steamers were at Malaga, and others
were expected there to convey the troops. It wt. also stated
that the Spanish government bad demanded from the Em.
perm of Morocco the presence of a body of Moorish troops at
Melilla to chastise the Riffians for their recent aggression,
and to prevent the Spanish garrison being molested in
its occupation of the new limits. A Malaga letter
says that the late attack was in ooneequenee of the Riff
tribe not having received from the Sultan the promised
ir.demaity for the ceded lands. The Gibraltar Chrosidel
adds:—"lf this were so one oan hardly blame the Rattans.
They were clearly entitled to receive the stipulated price be.
fore they allowed the Spaniards touter upon the permanent
occupation of their lands, and might well demur to exchange
the material guarantee for his Sherrifilan Majesty's I 0 U."
The Madrid Constitutional says :—" The engagement with
the Moors appears to have originated in the reluctance with
which the tribes viewed their lards transferred to the
Spaniards. Parties of omelets bad been for sometime em-
ployed in filling up theditches and levelling old Moorish works
in the newly-ceded district, cud cutting down the prickly
pear badges. The Rialtos viewed these proceedings with
an unfriendly eye, and continuing Moan the soil theirs after
it kas been ceded to Spain, assembled in great numbers and
attacked the oonvict guard. The governor sent for rein•
foreernente, and upon some ooinpanies of the Verrpurs
and Fijo de Ceuta regiments coming upon the ground, the
Moms were driven back. Desultory firing between the
Moors and Spanish troops was kept up till sunset, when the
latter withdrew to the fort. The 94 Moorish swimmers
turned out to have been Moan who were inside the walla of
Melilla for the purpose of trading when the attack was
made outside, and who ware detained se a measure of
preointioo."

Mr. Munro, the sanitary inspector of 84. Olave's, with
having is his possession three carcases and Mx sidle of mute
ton in a diseased state and unfit for human food.

Mr. Munro said that oa Thursday noon he was in the
performance of his duty when he entered Mr. Tate's shop,
end at the rear he perceived three amen of mutton
hanging up expos( 1 for sale. He examined them, and
found that the meat was dreadfully poor, and smelt
horribly. Dr. Vine., the medical officer of health, wee

Mara Donnelly alias Catherine Bryan, witl4many other
aliases, the terror of publicans and policemen, who has been
in custody a peat many times, was brought before Mr. Par-
tridge charged with bang drunk, disorderly, and breaking
two panes of glad in the window of the Crown and Seven
Stars public-house, in Rosernary-laos, WhitaclaapeL
Rosemary-lad was renamed Royal Ilinteneet, from its
contiguity to the Mint, a few years ago, but the character
of its inhabitants has not improved, and dissipation and
ruffianism reign triumphant there. The prisoner is the leader
of • desperate peg of disorderly women, who an
almostcontiaually drunk and fighting and creating
all manner of disturbances. The prisoner wind into the
Crown and Seven Stars public-house last night and demanded
liquor. Mr. John Mane refused to serve her with anything.
Sheabused him, and made a great disturbanoe A man inter.
feted, and she fought with him. He gave her a good thresh-
ing. (Such were the words uttered by the landlord). In re-
venge tor this the prisooer made ao attempt to break a window.
The landlord interfered, and the prisoner struck him several
times. He got her away and turned brr out of the hood.
She then picked up two stones and hurled them at his win-
dows. Two panes of glass were broken.
Mr. Partridge said it was highly reprehensible for the
landlord of a public.house to suffer any fighting in hie
house, but it was dill more disgraceful to allow such an un-
natural thing as a man and a woman to fight.
The complainant said he could not provost it. The pri-
soner was the greatest nuisance that ever exiated.
Mr. Partridge—You should refuse to serve her with any-
thing except water.
The oomplainant—l do, sir. She has not spent • is.
peace in my hood for twelvemonths. She comes into my
house, and creates a disturbouce, fights with everyone,
throws pots at me, and keeps the neighbourhood in a state
of tumult.
The prisoner, whom. face was contused and one aye
blackened, presented a repulsive appeardoe, and Fielding's
celebrated description of Blear-eyed Moll, in his Dowel of
" Amelia," would answer well for the description of the
prisoner. She oomplidoed of being knocked about, and said
the publican beet her and was always " paying her out."
Mr. Mann declared he never touched the woman and that
she was a perfect came to him.
Mr. Partridge had no doubt the prisoner was a very dis-
orderly, violent, end drunken woman, but be could cot too
strongly deprecate the fightbetweeo her and a men in • pub.
lie house. He fined her le. and sa. the value of the glair
broken.
The prisoner doubled her fist, scowled at the complainant,
and exclaimed, "I'll knock the publican's eye out when I
come out of prison."
Mr. Partridge—You shall be locked up for five minutes,
and if you do not withdraw that threat and express sorrow
for saying so I will make you find bail.
The prisooer was again arraigned in five minutes. She
said she was very sorry, and did not intend to hurt the
publican.
Mr. Partridge—You had better not.
