ANTI-MILITIA PLACARDS. —ln Monday's Ez-
press it wu stated that prosecutions had been directed to
tie carried out by the msgtsti ate. of several counties, under
the sanction of government, against persons exhibiting pla-
cards intended to dissuade men from volunteering for the
militia. We have since been informed that in Buckingham-
shire a bill-sticker, named Barron, has been held to bail to
appear at the sessions to answer a charge of having posted
some of these obnoxious bills. It is also stated that at
Great Budfield a clerical gentleman became so much ex-
cited by the eshinition of one of the placards on the shut-
ters of a Quaker neighbour, that he discharged
the contents of a double-barrelled fowling-piece at
1 the document, completely obliterating it of course, but at
the tame time doing serious injury to the window-fasten-
ings upon wl.ich it was posted. The police, we understand,
are making exertions to discover the printer of these
bids.

ORDNANCE.

Captain MICHELL moved for a return of the unap-
propriated iron ordnance in store at Woolwich and the out-
ports fur the land and sea service ; distinguishing the ser-
viceable, unserviceable, and obsolete; and return showing
tits number of iron ordnance condemned as urnervin able
in each Tear since 1848, and how disposed of, and if sold, the
pries paid for the same.
Coi. DUNNE was understood not to agree to the return
under present circumstances. There had been a sale of the
ohl ordnance every quarter to the extent that people would
buy them. It wee inconvenient under present circum-
stances to give this return.
Capt. PECIIELL said it was convenient enough to come
down to the house the other night fur 8,0001. fur new ord.
nane e, which was granted, and he did not see why it was
inconvenient to give this return. They got that 8,0001.,
though he stated at the time that there were more than
14,000 serviceable guns in the different arsenals.
Cul. DUNNE remarked that ht w'-..;d rather leave the
granting of the return to the
d kretion of his successor,
and probably the bon•
.n gallant captain would be hie
SUCCCIII4)j,

After a few remarks from General Axsox,
Mr. HUME expressed his surprise that any opposition
was made to the return. This pretension of aecr.cy was
a perfect mockery. Thy French government knew per.
fcctly well how many guns we had in our arsenals, and
hew many were fit for 'cry ce • and if we were to send a
person over to France, he could get the same information
concerning theirs.
Sir F. SMITH hoped the return would be given. He
hoped also it would not be imagined that because they had
• vast mambo/ of guns of smell calibre, they were not in
want of ran of • more modern construction and larger
calibre.

Lord I). STUART said it was remarked a few days ago
that the inembe re of the government were well received
at Guildhall, and the next day the Sheriffs of London ap-
peared at the table with a petition against the government
measures; and they had the hon. member fur Montrose
praising ministers a few minutes ago for their readiness to
give information, and now blaming them for refusing in-
formation.

General ANSON did not understand that his hon. and
gallant friend refused the motion, but he did not wish to
take the responsibility just now. lie hoped the hon. and
gallant captain would withdraw the motion.
Mr. WALI'OLE said the motion was not of an imme-
diately pressing nature, and it would be desirable to defer
the motion for a few days.
The house wu then cleared for a division, but none took
place ; and we were informed that an bon. member had
more that the house be counted, and, aa only thirty mem-
ben were present, tho house adjourned.

SPAIN.

None of the new ministers are men of political
or professional prominence, and the cabinet ts ro•
garded both at Madrid and Paris as a temporary
combination. How Gen. ltoncali will propose to
deal with Braro Murillo's constitutional hills is not
known, as, although he is an absolutist by repute,
this is his first appearance in politics, and it can
only be inferred that the bold innovations which
tho late minister with greater advantages could not
carry out, the new premier will not attempt. Hon-
call has been a commander in the Basque pro% iaoes,
and a captain•geneml, first, of Grenada, and subs&
qucntly of Cuba. General Lara is supposed to be
favourable to the maintenance of the constitution;
(aunt Mirasol is the " M. Mirasol" of our p.tr:ia-
mentary debates in 15-is, in which year he was Ant
hither to explain the abrupt expulsion of S.r H.
lialwer from Madrid, but was not received. M.
Llorente is qualified by La Prelim as an eminatt
wpblicist, esteemed for character and talent." MM.
hey aad Avitizabal are even less known than the
other members of the cabinet.

The Herfshio of the 14th says:—" The injunctions
which have been laid upon the periodical pre,. do
nut permit us to reproduce the intelligence which has
been circulating during the last few days, or to re-
port the events which have occurred within the last

THIS FISHERIES DISPUTE.

. ..._ ....._-.--.......-.
In the coons of the last summer considerable anxiety was
caused fora 'hart time by an official intimation from the
government of Great Britain that orders had been given
for the protection of the fisheries upon the eosin of the
British provinces in North America against the alleged en
eroachmenta of the fishing vessels of the United States and
' France. The shortness of this notice and the meson of the
1 year nested to make it a matter of urgent importance. It
was at first apprehended that an increased naval force had
been ordered to the fishing grounds to carry into effect the
British interpretation of those provisions in the convention
of 11418, in reference to the true intent of wnich the two
governments differ. It was soon discovered that such was
not the design of Great Britain, and satisfactory explana-
tions of the real objects of the measure have been given
both here and in London.

The unadjulted difference, however, between the two
governments as to the Interpretation of the tint article
of the convention of 1818 is still a matter of importance.
American fishing vessels within nino or ten years have
bete minded from waters to which they had free access
for twenty flre years after the negotiauon of the treaty.
In 1815 this esciusion was relaxed so far as concerns
the Bay of Fundy, but the just and liberal intention of the
home government, in compliance with what we think the
true construction of the convention, to open all the other
outer bays to our fishermen, was abandoned, in oonaequence
of the opposition of the colonies. Notwithstanding this,

_ --
Representatives :
The brief space which has elapsed sines the close of your
last Keeton km been marked by no estraordioary political
event. The Quadrennial election of Chief Magistrate has
passed off with less than the usual eaciternent. However
individuals and parties may have been disappointed in the
result, it is nevertheless • subject of national congratulation
that the choice has been effected by the independent suf-
frages of a free people, undisturbed by those influences
which in other countries have too often affected the purity
of popular elections.
Our grateful thanks are due to an AU-merciful Provi-
dence, not only for staying the pestilence which in different
forma has desolated some of our cities, but for crowning the
labours of the husbandman with an abundant harvest, and
the nation generally with the blessings of peace sad pro-
sperity.
Within • few weeks the public mind his been deeply
affected by tho death of Daniel Webster, tilling at his de-
cease the office of Secretary of State. His associates in the
executive government have sincerely sympathised with his
family and the public g fly on this mournful occasion.
Ilia commanding talents, his great political and professional
eminence, his well tried patriotism, and his long and faith-
ful services, in the most important public trusts, have
caused his death to be lamented throughout the country,
and have d for him a lasting place in our history.

INDIAN INROADS.

Every effort has been made to protect our frontier and
that of the adjoining Mexican states from the incursions of
the Indian tribes. Of about 11,000 men of which the army
is composed nearly 8,000 are employed in the defence of the
newly-acquired territory (including Texas), and of emi-
gran s proceeding thereto. lam gratified to sty that three
efforts have been unusually successful. With the exception
of some partial outbreaks in California and Oregon, and
occasional depredations on a portion of the Rio Orande,
owing, it is believed, to the disturbed state of that border
region, the inroads of the Indians have been effectu.illy re-
strained.

Experience has shown, however, that whenever the two
races are brought into contact, collisions will inevitably
occur. To prevent these collisions the United States have
generally set apart portions of their territory for the exclu-
sive occupation of tlie Indian trilus. A difficulty occurs,
however, in the application of this policy to Texas. By the
terms of the compact by which that state Wilt admitted into
the Union, she retained the ownership of all the vacant
lands within her limits. The government of that state, it
is understood, has assigned no portion of her territory to
the Indians; but as fast as her settlements advance lays it
off into counties, and proceeds to survey and ad! it. This
policy manifestly tenth', not only to alarm end irritate the
Indians, but to compel them to resort to plunder for sub.
sistence. It also deprives this government of that influence
and control over them without which no durable peace
can ever exist between them and the whites. I trust,
therefore, that a due regard for her own interests, apart
from considerations of humanity and justice, will induce that
state to assign a small portion of her vast domain for the
provisional occupancy of the small removnts of tribes
within her borders, subject, of course, to her ownership
and eventual jurisdiction. If she should fail to do this, the
fulfilment of our treaty stipulations with Mexico, and our
duty to the Indians themselves, will, it is feared, become a
subject of serious embarrassment to the government. It is
hoped, however, that a timely and just provision by Texas
may avert this evil.

AUSTRIA.

A Vienna correspondent writes on the 31st inst. :
A little more—say the nomination of a few
generals and bishoprics—and the church and state
will have a purely military organisation. The
Statthalter of the coast land, the Ban of Croatia, the
government of Dalmatia, like scores of other high
agents of government, all soldiers of mom or less
distinction, add to their other civil functions—the
direction of the Marine, the presidency of the Admi-
ralty, the treasurership of the Board of Education,
and the Customs' controL But what will be said of
the last measure of the government, which shatters
to pieces the ministry of commerce, that fair creation
of Baron Bruck, and unquestionably the most active
and useful department of the government, and hands
over its various functions to a set of half-pay
generals and lieutenant field marshals P The
Hussar General Legeditsch, of the Holstein ex-
pedition, is named inspector-general of railroads ;
General Coronini, of inland navigation; General
Hauslab, of telegraphs; and General Urban, of
' postal communication. Besides these, the consular
office is to be directed by a soldier. Such facts are
barely credible, but they are to be read in black
and white in the: Austrian press, which does not trifle
in print, and, least of all, where a government depart-
ment is concerned. The substitution of gendarmes
for police appears by the side of these facts a
very small affair. With such a prospect open before
them, the youth of Austria may well judge that
educational lualifications and university success are
mere luxuries, and that the science of political
economy, with the arts of policy and govern-
ment, are to be learned better in the bar-
racks and camp than in the lecture hall,
or in the practical buainess of civil life. The
once hopeful statists of the ministry of trade, the'
Deacon Humes, the Porters, and Macgregor. of Au-
tria are in despair. The rewards of years of toil and
study are snatched from before their eyes. The
finance minister is still a civilian, but how long this
poet will remain the desire of generals, can only be
coujectured.
The bookseller, Mans, of this city, has been im-
prisoned for ten days for having had a hand in the
publication of Georgey's Memoirs of the Hungarian
war.

The Prase of Vienna states that immediately
after tho arrival of Marshal MT= in Paris Prince
Louis Napoleon wrote to the minister of police, or-
dering that all necessary measures might be adopted
to prevent any violation of the rights of hospitality
towards him. The same journal states that the
Princess Waaa will return from Moravia with her
daughter, the Prince's Caroline, at the end of this
month, and pass the winter in Vienna.

The /Erna Zeiteseg hu been confiscated by the
police this evening, with such dispatch that even the
private subscribers have got no copies. The reason
If the measure is not known, therefore, among the
public. On Saturday last the %ream Zeitung as-
sumed a very challenging tone against Austria;
hihted at warlike intentions on the part of the Vienna
cabinet, and talked very big about " the echo
" which would resound from Prussia's ranks if
Austria strikes upon the hilt." It is very probable
that the paper, as is its usual manner, continued the
theme with increasing intemperateness. Of course
the government must desire to prevent, at the pre-
sent critical moment, all expressions of an irritating
nature with regrrd to Austria, particularly in the
organ of the cavalier party, which is believed to repro-
seat the feelings of the court. What gave occasion
to the Him Zeitwsg's article of last Saturday is a
repot that the Austrian government has ordered
to be made br the Great North lgirilifor the transport of large bodies
a troops at the commencement of the next
mouth; and the conjecture is, that at that
ported the coalition's reply in the Zollverein will be
given and the lest breach,declared, when Austria
deems it prods= to have a force ready for checking
any dsemestrations of popular discontent in Saxony,
and also for taking military occupation of any coali-
tion state which might be inclined to retract from the
Darmstadt obligation& Hints are also given, that
Austria will go still further; namely, that Brunswick
and the Thuringian duchies will be declared to be still
bound to their treaties of customs union with the
southern states, not having given, as Prussia did,
notice of secession within the stipulated term; and
that Austria will assert the federal authority for the
maintenance of the coalition's claims on these smaller
states, which have hitherto been mere satellites of
Prussia. This would be a severe blow for the Prus-
sian government. Austria, having the letter of the
law and the whole southern coalition on its side,
would doubtless push recklessly forward, knowing
that Prussia has every reason to shun a violent cant-
sioo, not only because war would be an incalculable
disaster, but because, at the present moment, while
the Jesuit emissaries have blown the slumbering
=beta of religious fanaticism almost to a dame,

BOW-STREET.

Naseby and MullenZ;;nan ded on the charge of the man-
slaughter of henry Lucas, of Nottingham-court, Castle-
street, Long-acre, were brought up and plated before Mr.
Henry for final examination.
The depositions were read over, and additional evidence
given.
Mr. W. Bennett, surgeon to the parish of St. Giles, de-
posed to having made a post modem examination of de-
ceased, and was of opinion that the fall, caused by
the blow, as given in evidtnce, might have caused the
death of the deceased, whose appearance justified the
opinion.
Mr. Henry discharged Naseby, but committed Mullen.
for trial.

Sarah Dunn, a young-;;;;In,W years of age, was
charged with attempting to commit suicide.
Mrs. Pool, of No 5, Lizard-street, St. Luke's, stated that
she was formerly acquainted with the parents of the
prisoner. Her father was a respectable solicitor in the
City-road, who gave leer a liberal education. He died
about 9 years ago, and her mother 4 years since, leaving
her destitute, when the prisoner was compelled to obtain a
situation as servant, but she was obliged through Wines to
leave her service, and witness was induced, from motives
of charity, to receive and protect her under her roof; but
she was constantly in a state of melancholy. Yesterday
morning she was informed that the prisoner had taken a
quantity of oxalic acid, which witness kept in the house for
the purpose of taking out stains. She found her muff-cries
much from the poison, which she admitted having taken.
She immediately srnt for a policemso. 70 G, who had her
conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where she
was attended to, and was subsequently brought to this
court. The prisoner had no friends or relations to assist
her except witness, and, her circumstances not being suffi-
cient, she had urged the prisoner to go into the workhouse.
Sarah Jones saw the prisoner with the poison, which she
threatened to take. She advised her not to do such a
foulish thing, but she mixed it with water, and swallowed
it off, who witness made an alarm.
Mr. Combo reproved her in a mild and feeling manner,
and told her that, if she was in distressed circumstances, it
would be better far her to seek assistance from her parish
than resort to a rash attempt upon her life, or to come to a
magistrate, when something would be done for her.
Prisoner (bursting into tears)—l went to the pariah, sod
they would do nothing for me. Thee would not even give
me some clothes to try to get something to do.
Mr. Combo-1 will send you to a place where every care
will be taken of you until you are mere composed in your
mind, and in the meantime the parish authorities must be
consulted, and everything proper shall be done for you.
He gave orders that Mrs. Poole should be allowed to visit
and see her in the House of Detention in the infirmary,
and that every care and attention should be afforded her.
The unfortunate creature was then supported out of
court in strong convulsions, and the utmost sympathy was
manifested towards her.

SPAIN.

We have received the Madrid journal's of the 3rd.
The Ileraldo states that the treasury bands of the
government are so much in discredit that many per-
sons refuse to take them except at a considerable re-
duction on their nominal value, and that from the
difficulty of obtaining money the payment of the sala-
ries in the different departments of the government
goes on very slowly. The same journal announces
the departure of a deputation of iron masters for La
Granja, with a petition to the Queen, praying her
to revoke the recent concessions in favour of foreign
iron, which they say arc contrary to law as well as
to their interests.

Some of the Madrid journals have for some time
past been demanding the suppression of bull-fights.
In opposition to them, a petition, praying the Queen
to establish a school of tauromachis, has been signed
by several thousand persons, and presented to her
majesty by the Duke de Veraguas.

A letter from Riga states that there was frost

HOLLAND.

The following paragraph in the Patrie of Paris
may be taken as an official contradiction of the
rumoured suspension of diplomatic relations between
Franco and Holland :

The departure of M. d'Andri, minister of France in
Holland, on the 4th, after hosing been received in an
audience to take leave, by the King of the Netherlands,
gives rise to the most contradictory commentaries. On the
faith of two Dutch journals, some French papers have has-
tened to; announce that our minister plenipotentiary was
recalled, in consequence of the refusal of the parliament of
the Netherlands to sanction the convention relative to the
protection of literary property with France. It has even
been added that the government of the Nether-
lands was about to recall General Baron do Fagel, its
representative at Paris. Wo are in a position to
reassure public opinion as to all these rumours. H. &Andre
has only returned to France to enjoy in his family a leave of
absence for three months. Baron de Fagel, cuinister of the
Netherlands, does not think of leaving his post at
Paris. Besides, there is nothing in the relations
between France and Holland which could cause
at this moment the recall of the minister pleni-
potentiary. Some journals announced too hastily, a
short time ago, the retirement of M. de Fagel, who had
demanded from the King of the Netherlands the authorisa-
tion to retire on account of his advanced age; but his
Majesty William 111., appreciating the capacity of this
statesman, would not consent to deprive himself of kis
services.

mander Vansittart, sailed this afternoon for the East In-
dies.—The Leander, 60. Captain King, wee paid off today,
at her moorings in the harbour, which proved a great
benefit to the watermen of the place.—The Seafiuwer,

to embark other prisoners there for conveyance to llobart
Town.

THE CANTERBURY ASSOCIATION.—The Canterbury
Association ceased its colonising functions and its land
sales in this country on the 30th of September. The cir-
cumstances which have led to this result are—first, a mis-
understanding with her Majesty's government ; end, se-
condly, with the directors of the New Zealand Company, to
whom the emaciation is largely indebted. The committee
of the Canterbury Amoeiation, feeling themselves placed in
a difficult position, have endeavoured to transfer their
functions to the colonial legislature. Her Majesty's go-
vernment, however, have refused to allow this, without a
settlement of the claims of the Crown and the New Zealand
Company on the funds of the association. The demands
made are considered by the Canterbury Association to be
unjust, and there appears at present no hope of terminating
the dispute, except by the most summary proceedings on
the part of her Majeaty's government, or an adieu at com-
mon law between the company and the association. The
correspondence between the Canterbury Association and
the Colonial Secretary has been publiahed, from which it
appears that the government has refused to comply with
the proposals of the committee of management, and that all
friendly negotiations are at attend.
THE MELBOURNE PACKEI SnlP.—During the gale
one of the asaistant•enginems, a young man in charge of the
engines, was by • sudden luroli of the vessel thrown against
the 'machinery, and had his right hand cut off at the wrist.
lie was landed at Deal, and thence taken to the hospital
at Canterbury, where, it is believed, he is going on well.

est till the other shareholders have received back 20
per cent. of thareapital; and of the remaininglo,ooo
shares, only 4,063 are to be allotted in London, the
rest having already been taken up. The works, ac-
cording to contract, are to be executed by Mr. Thomas
Brusey, for 160,0001., the contractor ales undertak-
ing to pay 5 per cent. interest on all calls until the
completion of the works. The company is constituted
as a Societe A.sosyme.
Small English railways appear to be becoming
fashionable. The H Mayfield Railway Company" is
just formed, with a capital of only 12,5001. in 101.
shares. This line, which is a branch of the Hastings
and Tonbridge Wells Railway, is only six miles in
length, and is to run from Lewes to Mayfield, for
the transport of agricultural materials and ironstone.
A feature of novelty consists in the fact that the
company's act of parliament has been already
obtained. We understand only a single line of rails
is to be laid down. Surprise is expressed at the
ism of such small projects as these in the open
market, considering that the whole of the shares
could, as a matter of course, be taken up by the pro-
moters and their friends, and with less expense, but
we believe these projects are brought upon the
market in this way, with a vicw to afford-
ing facilities for dealing in the shares. It has
some mese that when- • a five
la.—
in viduals have brought out a line on their
own responsibility, it hu been found extremely
difficult to find a market for the shares, when
realisations have been rendered necessary by the
death of one of the holders, or any other cause.
A project is also coming out called the Poplar and
Greenwich Railway and Steam Ferry Company,
being an extension of the Camden Town and Black-
well Railways, through the Isle of Dogs, to Green-
wich. The capital required is 00,0001., io 201.
shares.

SPAIN.

MADRID, Auousr 31.
M. Campana has arrived from Cadiz. lie is said
to be the bearer of propositions to the government
for the construction of the railway from Seville to
Madrid, passing by Estremadura. M. Campana
represents the powerful houses of Zulueta and
Julian Lopes.
It is thought that the new Portuguese Minister at
Madrid will be M. Pairs, formerly Minister Pleni-
potentiary in Paris.
A letter from Corunna states that the service of
steamer, from Malaga to London, touching at Cadiz,
Corunna, and Santander is now completely organized.
The boats will run twice a month.

The Diario Espanol says it has observed with
regret in the Gazette not a shower of gold, but a
shower of extraordinary credits, amounting in the
whole to 5 million. of real'. This journal expresses
uneasiness with regard to financial prospects.

BELGIUM.

The Augs?urg Gazette states that tho Austrian
Envoy at Brussels has remitted to the Belgian go-
vernment an energetic note on the indignities offered
to liaynau a fortntght ago at Brussels.

TURKEY.

The correspondent of the Trieste Gazette writes
from Constantinople that there is every probability
of the speedy reinstallation of Reschid Pacha, Ali
Pacha, and lciad Effendi, in their former ministries.
Reschid Pacha is reconciled with Halil Pacha, his
chief enemy, and the best possible understanding
now exists between them. More than 5,000 families
are left houseless by the recent fires; 3,000 have, as
yet, found no place of shelter, and the government
has granted them the use of a sufficient number of
military tents. In Adrianople conflagrations have
caused the destruction of property to the value of
4,000,000 piastres. According to reports from
Syria, Abdurahman's band had fallen upon Hebron
and pillaged it.

complaining of the attacks made by several of the
Garman journals on Prince Louis Napoleon. By a
letter from Frankfort of the 28th ult., in the Corres-
pondent of Hamburgh, we see that it was to the
Senate of Frankfort, not to the Diet, that the note
was presented, and that it especially coca &hied of
the German Journal of that city.
