SOUTH AUSTRALIA.

The arrival of the new governor, Sir Dominick
Daly, and the departure of his pedeoessor were
the chief events in South Australia in the month
ending March 26. The Register of that date says :
•

The comparative failure of the harvest and the low price
of grain, following upon the unsatisfactory results of agri-
cultural operations for the last three years, have dealt a
heavy blow to the farming interest, and rendered things in
that direction very uncertain for the future. Hitherto we
have been able to find a market for the chief portion of our
surplus produce in the neighbouring colony of 'Victoria. That
market is now however all but closed to us by the increased
production of our neighbours, and prices have fallen below a
remunerative point. By a reduction in the price of labour,
by the employment of machinery, and by resorting to better
modes of farming, it is possible that wheat may be grown at
a prim that will enable us regularly to export it to the
English market at a profit. U so, the agricultural interest

might be largely szteeded haw But if not, then agdoulturists
will here to sera their attentkin toothier persuitsow a very
spell proportion of oar farmind. power will be sufficient to
all the wheat we require for home consumption.

SALE OF ENCUMBERED ESTATES.

Lord R. MONTAGU wished to ask the Chief Secretary
for Ireland whether, in the return No. 202, recently laid
upon the table of the house, the " total amount of purchase
mosey, 5,940,989/.," comprised the value of the estates
which were sold in the Encumbered Estates Court ; or
whether this item referred merely to tie amount of the pur-
chase money of estates already brought into the new Landed
Estates Court.
- -

Sir R. PEEL replied that the produce of the sales
since the establishment of the court was upwards of 26
millions, including the 5.940,9891., which reprmented sales
under the new Landed Estates Court.
ALLEGED DEFEAT OF TURKISH TROOPS.

Mr. FREELAND asked whether any information had
been received by the government with reference to • defeat
of Hussein Pasha in the Herzegovina, announced tby tele-
gram from Ragusa by way of Vienna, and with reference to
other reverses which the Turkish ,troops are said to have
sustained?
Mr. LAYARD thought the hon. member would have
done well not to have paid so much attention to telegrams
from Ragusa by way of Vienna. The information received
by the government led them to believe that so far from the
Turkish troops having been defeated they had been perfectly
suconsful in their object. No doubt there had been some
mall reverses, and the Turkish irregular troops had in
eome instances been seized by the Montenegrins. The
Turkish government were acting with greet self•restraint
and moderation notwithstanding the provocation which they
bad received. As regarded the telegram in question he
could not say who was responsible for its jobbing
, or
whether it was intended to promote stock jobbing purposes
or not.

NEW SOUTH WALES.

We read in the Sydney Herald of March 21—

The event of the month most remarkable is the advance
made in the production of gold. Accounts have reached us
privately which, if borne out by further experience, will
Justify the oonchuiion that gold mining has made a decided
spring, and that its share in our exports will entitle the
colony to rank with the most important gold.producing
countries. More than twelve thousand ounces were de-
livered at the Mint last Saturday from the various fields ;
but our telegram informs us that the next escort from the
lAchlan—a comparatively new district—will amount to
fifteen thousand ounces. The produce of the last five or
six years has been no mean item in our expecte,
but it has been subject to considerable fluctuation, from the
restless movements of the diggers and the Chinese disturb-
ances, which have been attended with so much general lose.
We have never yet had a Ballarat or Bendigo to fix the
mining population, or to give those great results which have
been achieved by its concentrated efforts. There is, how-
ever, no reason, that we have ever been able to comprehend,
for supposing that the political line which divides this from
the adjacent oolooy distinguishes their probable auriferous
fortunes. It has always been the faith of New South Wales
that industry and penteveranos would some time or other
fall upon the right place, and that we should see some such
examples of progress as have been so often wii.ocesed in the
neighbouring colony.

UUSTOhLS AND INLAND REVENUE BILL.

- - - -
Upon the order of the day for going into committee on
this bill.
Mr. NEWDEGATE objected that, by accepting this form
of a supply bill, the house would virtually abandon the care
it was bound to take as to the mode in which taxation was
imposed, and that each breech of the taxation should be so
levied as to indict the slightest inconvenience and burden
I upon the peooe. He contended that it should be divided
into separate bills, the matters being too involved for the
discussion of the details in a single bill.
Exceptions to portions of the financial scheme of the go-
vernment, as embodied in the bili,were taken by Mr. Dam,
Mr. W. Dunocen* Mr. Locke, and other members.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed
that the objection of Nr. Newdegate involved a matter of
controversy in which the house had arrived ►t a conclusion,
and he did not desire to revive it. He briefly replied to
other objections.
After some remark■ by Mr. BENTINCK and Mr. Gairrrrn,
the house went into committee on the bill.
The Bth clause, requiring licenses for private brewing,
was omitted, with the consent of the Chancellor of the

Exchegoerl
On clause 9, which relates to occasional licenses to sell
excisable liquors at faits, &c.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved an
ameudmest by which no such licenses could be issued ex-
cept with the consent of the magistrates of the petty
sessions of the district, and providing that no liquors be
sold except between sunrise sad sunset.
These amendments were agreed to after diecuesion.
On the clause amended beui put.,
Sir W. JOLLIFFE moved its omission.
On a division the clause was retained by 116 to 63.
On clause 12, which related to the hop duty,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that
he would yield to remonstrances which had been made, and
• allow a drawback of the duty to the extent of 7s. a cwt.,
and the clause ea amended was agreed to.
On clause 29, relating to the income tax,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proposed
an amendment by which • new aaseument would take
place under Schedule I) for the
_present_
_year.
A long discussion, introduced by Sir li. WILLOUGHBY, on
the subject of the assessment of the income tax, and also
on the system of appeals and surcharges, took place, at the
end of which the clause was agreed to.
The other clauses were gone through, and the house re-
sumed.

CAPTAIN COLES'S SHIELD.

Admiral WALCOTT asked the Secretary to the Admi-
ralty whether the cupola fitting on board the Trusty float-
ing battery had not been altered from the condition in
which it was used in the practice firing when it sustained the
shots of 110 pound and 68 pound guns, as it was now pro-
! posed to submit it to the fire of a 150 pound gun ; and whe-
ther Captain Coles, of the Royal Navy, the inventor, had
been consulted upon the propriety of using such a severe
test in the present state of the cupola, because, if not con-
sulted, he considered that Captain Coles's interest in the
patent might be seriously prejudiced
Lord C. PAGET that the Admiralty had been in
communication with Captain Coles with a view of preparing
the shield, as farce possible, according to Captain Coles's
own wishes.

A report is current that a military conspiracy in

A full and searching inquiry into the affair has

TRIBUTARIES.

The Marquis of CLAILNRICA RUE then rem to move for
the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the
causes of the great and frequent laudations of the River
Shannon and its trihntaries, end into the effects of the works
constructed be the Shannon commissioners of 1839 upon the
navigation and upon the drainage of the country, and how
far such works were in accordance with the plans referred
to in the statute under which they were undertaken.
Earl iiItANARD thought, if the inquiry were granted,
the Shannou might be made a really useful river to
the country...._ . . .

Earl GRANVILLE said her Majesty's government were
of opinion that it wasnot desirable that more public money
should be ,pent on the navigution of the river or in the
drainage of the surrounding country. But her Majesty's
government were ready, if the lords-lieutenants of
counties would engage to assist, to join in an in-
quiry as to what measures might be taken to im-
prove the drainage of the river. But the in-,
wry must not take place under one engineer only, who
would be supposed to be under government inftuence. One
engineer must be appointed by the residents Foal another by
the government, and that an inquiry both useful and mow-
mical ;lit be carried out. He trusted, under these cir-
cumstances, his noble friend would not persevere with his
motion.
Lord DERBY thought *scientific inquiry would be more
satisfactory, but recommended that the engineers should be
unfettered by any instruction.
Ultimately the motion was weed to.
The select committee on noxious vapours was nominated.
Their lordships then adjourned at 2D minutes past 8.

" PUTTY HORIMBIZAWS" IN PATE.

The Perin correspondent of the indlipendanee
esys :—" Acts have occurred at the Bois de Boulogne,
which, without poseessing any great importance, have
attracted the notice of the authorities. Ladies who move in
a certain sphere, luxuriously reclining in splendid equipages
from which with fastidious airs they seemed to look con-
temptuously on honest poverty,' have been Weird by the
promenaders. Angry groups of people =mounded the
carriages, and the ladies deemed it prudent to best a retreat
with all the speed at which the horses could carry
them. Similar scenes took place at the races.
The ladies there met with a bad reception from the people.
Stones were thrown at one of them who seemed more cool
or more daring than the others, and whose attitude looked
like a provocation. These scenes often repeated, and taking
place even in the minor theatres, have awakened the atten-
tion of the police. But what is to be done ; for personal
liberty must be respected. The police authorities, I under-
stand, have been studying the question, end amongst the
reports in circulation is one which says that lists of pro-
scription are to be drawn up against the most recalcitrant of
these daughters of Eve, and that those who have come
from the provinces are to be sent back to their
respective departments., with an injunction that they
are not to return to Paris without the permission of
the prefect of police. Those who are foreigners will be
conducted to the frontiers with all the respect due to their
sex, if not to their position. I am aware of the seneation
which this news will produce when the independowee
arrives in Paris to-morrow."

'This was an action for felts imprisonment and assault.
Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Prentice were counsel for
the plaintiff ; Mr. Denman, Q.C., and Mr. Wood were for
the defendant.
The plaintiff in this action in a merchant in the City, nod
the defendant is the proprietor of the Cafe de l'Europe, is
the Haymarket. The transaction that wee the subject of
inquiry took place on the Derby night, and it appeared that
the plaintiff and some of his friends who had been enjoying
that great holiday went to sup at the defendant's establish-
ment. A. Frenchman and some other gentlemen were also
sopping, and it appeared that a depute arum between
the defendant and the Frenchman upon the subject of
the charges, and some angry words pared, and
there vas • threat that the Frenchman should be
locked up. The plaintiff and hie (Amide, thinking that
the Frenchmen had been aggrieved, interfered, and said
they would see him righted, and this increased the dis-
turbance. The Frenchman eventually left, and upon a
policeman, who bad been sent for by the defendant, arriving,
the plaintiff was given in charge for creating a disturbance,
but on the matter being investigated on the following morn-
ing by Mr. Knox, the magistrate at Marlborough-street
Police Court, the charge was at once dismissed, and the
present action was then brought by the plaintiff. •
At the close of the plaintiff's case the learned counsel on
both sides had a conference together, and Mr. Denman then
addressed his lordship and said that be was happy to inform
him that it would not be neonsary to psvaed any further
with the inquiry, as it had bean arranged that the t
would express his regret at what had happened, and be
would consent to a verdict to be taken against him sod five
guineas demises and pay all costs. The affair occurred on
the Derby night, when no doubt all the parties were a little
excited, but the defendant wished it to be understood that
all imputations upon the character of the plaintiff were
withdrawn, and he admitted that, being annoyed at what
the Frenchmen said, he had acted hastily, and he now re-
gretted having done so.
Mr. Hawkins said that the plaintiff never had any desire
to put money into his pocket, and his only object was to
vindicate his character.
Baron Martin said the course taken by the defendant was
a very proper one, and it was satisfactory to all parties, sad
a verdict was then taken for the plaintiff.
It has been arranged that the remainder of the common
jury cases shall be taken in their order at ten o'clock this
(Moodey) morning.

ATTEMPTED FRATRICIDE IN LEEDS.

On Saturday, at the Leeds Town Hall, James
Emmitt, medical student, of Saddleworth, was charged with
attempting to murder his brother, by shooting him with •
pistol Prosecutor, whose name is George Emmitt, of Nile-
street, Leeds, is in • somewhat critical position, sod is at-
tended by two medical men, who have extracted several
shots from the wound, but who are afraid that some of
the shot-corns may still be in the neck. On Saturday, conse-
quently, Mr. Tennant, magistrate, gent to the prosecutor's
residence for the purpose of taking is deposition, which we
subjoin. George Eminitt said—Prisoner is my brother, by
the same father, and has lately been living at Saildleworth.
Last Wednesday, prisoner, and his father and mother, came
over to Leeds to see me. On Thursday, prisoner &mom.
pealed me to the railway station in Marsh-lane, where I
am engaged. He subsequently went with me to the
Wellington Station, where I bad business, and we then
bad refreshment at various places, not separating until
ten o'clock at night. On Friday morning we met again,
and had di od tea together, for which I paid. In the
evening I again went down to Marsh lane station, the pri-
soner being with me. As I was writing in the booking-
office prisoner stood near to me. He wu in the waiting
room, from which the booking-office is boxed off. Suddenly
I heard the report of • pistol. I felt myself wounded on the
aide of the neck on which the prisoner was standing. I
cried out " Oh dear, who has done that r and prisoner then
ran out of the office, and in • direction as if he was leaving the
station, and I thought I saw him putting away • pistol. There
was pomp), dispute or words between me and the prisoner. I
pn out on to the platform, and somebody then assisted me
into the superintendent's room, where • medical man attended
me. I cannot 'mount for the pistol being discharged at me.
We hail met several times during the day, and were app•-
tently on the best of terms. Prisoner owes me money.
Mrs. Mary Atack, fruit dealer, of Colton, near Temple-
newsana, said she was at the station at twenty minutes to
six o'clock, waiting for a train home. In the waiting room
adjoining the office she saw the prisoner, and the prose.
cuter was in the office. There is a door from one room to
the other, and this was open at the time, and there is also
a window, at which people obtain their tickets. She saw
the prisoner with a pistol in his band—he was then stand-
ing by the side of the prosecutor—and he suddenly ex-
tended his hand in the direction of the prosecutor. She
heard the pistol explode, but (lid not see the prosecutor
bleeding from Ins wowed. She followed prosecutor on to the
platform, and told a man to assist him to a seat. as she was
of opinion that he (prosecutor) was about to fall Prisoner
walked quickly down the steps, in • direction as if he was
leaving the station.
The magistrates, at this stage of the inquiry, remanded
the prisoner foe • week.

TORN BY • WILD Be•sr.—A melancholy acci-
dent occurred on Tueeday at Kingstown. As the troops
attached to Bell's Hippodrome, who have been performing
in the Rotunda Gardens, Dublin, for some weeks, were
passing through the main street in proatesion,• poor journey-
man shoemaker, named Thomas Kelly, either incaution.)y
approached too near, or was forced against a cage
drawn by elephants and costataing five large
pumas. One of these ferocious animals instantly
thrust out Be paw, caught the unfortunate man by
the head, and dragged him clops to the bars. An-
other then caught his left ►rm in its teeth, ►nd with
a wrench smashed it above the elbow, lacerating the flesh
it a horrible manner up to the shoulder. A man named
Batty, who performs with the beast., immediately entered
the nap, and with great difficulty drove the infuriated
animals front their prey. With the help of a constable,
who also exposed himself to considerable danger, Kelly

ROBBERIES TROY GOODS TRAM —A Belief of
extensive robberies from the goods trains of the Mid and
Frilling have taken place during the last few month; and
all attempts to discover the guilty party were fruition' until
with'n the last tel days. Suspicion then fell upon a man
named William Mee, • discharged fireman. He was
watched, detected io the act, and apprehended. Yesterday
he was prised in the dock of the Town-ball, Leicester,
charged with having stolen 2,000 yards of &sad, the
property of the Midland Railway Company, which had
been intrusted to them by News. idget, of Derby, riband
manufacturers, value SOL ; also with having stolen, in the
mouths of March and June, • large quantity of ribaod,
silk taffeta., sunshades, and other article.. All the
charges were substantiated upon the testimony of detective
officers and servants of the company, after a very lengthened
sitting of the court. The magistrate fully committed the
pnermer for trial at the assizes.

WORSE I P•STREET.

ANOTHER CABMAN IN TROURII.
Preekriek Moore, a cab .driver, badge 12,757, was charged
before Mr. Cooke with refusing to take a fare.
Mr. John Wyatt, 32, Queen's-road, aslaton. said that he
aow the defendant'scab on the Kingaland stand, entered it,
and desired him todriva to Ishogton. Defendant refused to
do so; Kai when questioned as to the reason replied, '• I'm
not going to take a shilling fare." Mr. Wyatt added-1 sat
twenty minutes in the cab, but defendant would not move,
and having bad ample opportunity of judging of the fro-
, quency of such conduct, I resolved not to allow him to or
I cape the penalty for the offence.
In cross-examination by Mr. Horry, complainant admitted
that other cabs were on the stand, and that he only ad-
dressed the defendant ; nor did ha speak to any other
driver. He did not understand why he should have so done.
Defendant never made any remark relative to his cab being
engaged, or that he was waiting fur a certain party.
Mr. Horry said he had been assured that the latter was
the fact, and probably the complainant did not now recol-
lect it. The cabdriver clearly was wrong in refusing the
one shilling fare, but aware that the hour when his services
were required, namely 10 o'clock at night, was near, the
time of his being regularly engaged for a better fare, he had
very foolishly placed himself in his present position by
acting vs described. He trusted that under the circum-
stances the magistrate would deal leniently with the case ;
defendant was sorry for his misconduct.
Mr. Cooke remarked—The practice of cabmen refusing to
carry passengers when it does not precisely suit their put,
poses, either from the "route " being out of their road, or
a short fare, is now notorious., and it is the duty of a magis-
trate when such MSS are proved against them to convict,
aad make as ninny examples as possible. The offence in
this instance is most clearly brought home, and the defen-
dant has acted sensibly in his expressing his regret. I shall,
however, fine him in a penalty of 30s. and costa, or in default
21 days' imprisonment.
Defendant was removed in the van, the money not being
forthcoming.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

HOME CIRCUIT..--HERTFORD, JULY 16.
tßefore Mr. Baron Bramwell.)

George Farr Arnold surrendered to lei* his trial for
wilful and corrupt perjury.
Mr. G. Denman, Q.C., was specially retained, with Mr.
Willoughby, to conduct the prosecution; Serjeant Parry,
also specially retained, cad Mr. Woullett appeared for the
defendant.

This case stood over from the spring assizes, and it created
some interest, not only from the nature of the charm
which was rather a peculiar one, but from the position of
the defendant, who carrion on an exteuaive business as a
builder, at fit. Album, sod who is one of the town coun-
cillors. The surged perjury was ;contained in what is
called, in legal parlance, an affidavit of increase, an instru-
ment which it is necessary to execute, in order that the
successful party in an action at law may re-
cover his costs from his opponent. It appeared that
last year • person named Procter, who was the prosecutor
of the preeeut indictment, brought an action against the
defendant in the Queen's Bench, and upon the trial the
latter obtained a verdict, and iu due course the defendant
sought to obtain his costs, and he made the affidavit in
question before Mr. Annesley, the commissioner appointed
for that purpose, at Bt. Albans. The total amount of the
bill of costs was 381. 16a, and among the items the de-
fendant alleged that be had paid 15.. to three witnesses,
earned Padkins. Bean, and Wright. and Va. to two other
witnesses, and also a sum of 31. Hs. for railway fares, cab.
hire, and refreshment for the same witnesses, whereas it
turned out that at the time the affidavit was made be had
only given them a few shillings. It appeared, however,
that the affidavit was a joint oue by the defendant himself
and his solicitor, and Mr. Anneeley stated that at the time
he swore to it the defendant did not read the contents,
sod that he midis's", it was signed by his solicitor, and he
supposed it was all right. It also appeared that the sum
mistimed ha the affidavit were subsequestly paid to the
several witness&

officer did so sod left him. Immediately afterwards the
prisoners came up to him, and wanted him to go home with
them or treat them with something to drink. He refined
to do either, when one of them gave him • push on the
beast and they left him. As soon as they were gone he
put his band up to his scarf, and, missing his pin, he fol-
lowed them, and meeting with a constable a few yards
off, he told him of his loft. The prisoners were imme-
diately secured, sod taken into custody.
Mr. Combs asked him if he was sober at the time!
Witness replied that he wu. In feet, he was 'lmola •

THE INTXRNATIONAL EXHIBITION.

The attendanoe at the Exhibition yesterday was
again very large, as will be seen by the figures given
below.

--
Tbe Queen, We are happy to bear, has purchased
222 half-crown tickets for the International Exhi-
bition, thus setting an example to those employers
of labour who may contemplate giving their depen-
dente a treat.

We understand that, on Saturday last, as soon as
Mr. Palgrave bad withdrawn his Handbook from
sale in the Exhibition, Lord Granville wrote to
Baron Marochetti, expressing for himself and his
colleagues their great regret that a work, the sale of
which within the building had been authorised by
the Commissioners, should have contained criticisms
ou distinguished artists who had been invited to
contribute to the Exhibition, the tone and sub-
stance of which the Commissioners disapprove.

The number of visitors admitted yeiderday w 5

on payment of 2a. 6d., 12,168; total, 20,411.

produced 2,8391. 9a. by payment at the doors.

Much is expected from the present refreshment
contracts, and the amount can easily be calculated
day by day on the returns of visitors furnished by
her Mijesty's Commissioners. The premium given
by M. Veillard is 5,0001., and the head-money
which he has to pay is one halfpenny on each
visitor who enters the building by payment at the
doors. He pays nothing on PC4IIIIOII ticket holders.
Mr. Morrish has paid 5001. as premium, and he
allows the commissioners five-eighths of a penny

On Sunday last Dr. Civiale performed, for the
fourth time, an operation for the stone on King
Leopold. This operation, which, in consequence
of the nervous state of the august patient, had
been postponed, was perfectly successful. In lees
than three minutes the able surgeon removed or
destroyed two large fragments of stone, and the
terrible pain which the King had long endured
ceased at once as if by enchantment. He still
remains at L►eken, by way of precaution, although
it is hoped that Dr. Civiale's services will not again
be required.

THE COTTON .•UPPLY.

The following letter bee been addreFeed by Mr.
Thos. Buzley, N.Y.. to the M.yor of Meochester :

"3a, King-street, St. James's-square, S.W.
" London, 16th May, 1862.
"My dear Sir—Having seem your appeal on behalf of
the Mnocliester Provident Society, which is engaged in the
benevolent labour of relieving the exietieg distress of the
working chases, I beg to offer through you R donation of
WM in mid of the nimble servos. of that *emaciation.
" Permit me to observe that the industrious Gleams of
Lenoubire cannot be permanently supported on charity,
nor would math dispeniwoe be aecceptl• to them. They
desire to earn their daily breed by honest labour, and if
the first element of their labour, cotton, could be pro-
cared in abundance, and upon which they bare hitherto
generally subsisted in comfort, no doubt prosperity would
return to them. I deeply regret to sae no adequate exertion
made to proem supplies of cotton from new fields of culti-
vation. Slavery hi doomed to extinotiou, even if the ad-
herence' in the Sides el Amick' be reconciled, but the free
labourer here &eine net to live upon the degradation of the
negro, end would mime to obtain cotton from labour as
free ea his own. Till cotton is abundantly brought to this
country distrsee meat continue. Truthful evidence exists
that cotton can be plentifully and profitably grows in many
countries where its cultivation is neglected. or not even at-
tempted. Half • million of well-directed labourers in
Austrabe could produce more cotton than this country could
consume, and yet no importaoteffort is there made to enter
upon the cultivation of it. Cotton is the want of the great
industry depending upon it, and on its being adequately
supplied at reasomble prime, the need of unusual charity
will mash.
'Already the aggregate losses of the capitalists and the
labourers in the cotton trade, from the diminished supplies
of cotton, amount to • sum which, if it bad been judiciously
inflated In cotton growing, would have averted those
lessee ; and yet with unaccountable apathy, the prospect
of peolooged distress seems to be neglected, and additional
lessee will be indicted on the community nukes the re-
paste efforts be made to seetain oar industry with that
nucteriel without which it cant exist. Can you net, in
your high odloial posSion, yrtenote the fro, interests of
Lebow and capital by woe efforts to secure, from is
=my sources as puma* itnt impieties of
