PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 25.—The Simoom, iron screw-
steam transport, Captain Kiageome, arrived at Spithead
to-day front Quebec, having the 2nd battalion of the Ride
Brigade on board. She lett Quebec on the :led inst. int,
eteaming down the St. Lawrence liver, nail coating home
from the bay of St. Law rence under sail the whole of the
distanar, with the exception of having to get up steam fur
about an hour end a half, the wind having subsided into a
calm. She Ins thus made a very fine passage home, and
has proved herself to be a good sea vessel, answering ex-
tremely well under sail; she also works very well under
steam, but her engines (340 horse-power) 'may appear to
have sail 'lent power for a vessel of such heavy tonnage.
She had this morning, in coining up to SnitheA I, including
officers, soldiers, women, and children, and her own erew,up-
wards of VAX) souls on board ; ■nd although there was neces-
sarily some very close packing with such a large number of
people in one slip, she was, on the whole, considered very
comfortable. The Simoone left Cork on the 23rd of April
, last, with detachments of the 54th and 66th Regiments ter
Quebec, where she arrived on the 21st of May, alter o pus-
sage of 29 days. She encountered very rough weather, and
off the banks of Newfoundland, in a heavy gale, she lost
two boats, and her mainyard was carried away. Me only
used her steam four days on this passage. In the course of
it Mr. al`Grath. Quarter-master of the 54th Regiment,
died, and was buried at sea. In the homeward voyage she
had fair weather, generally speaking; but in a ftla breeze
her mitentopmast was lost. A child of one of the ptivates
dying on board, was buried at sea yesterday. The Simoom
will come into harbour at high water this evening, and the
Rifles will proceed to Canterbury in three division., to-mor-
row, Monday, and Tuesday mornings, per South Coast and
Brighton and South Eastern Railways. In addition to the
!titles, the Simoom has brought home invalids from the
regiment 4 serving in Canada.—The Edinburgh, A, screw
steam gunnery ship, Captain Ilewlett, which arrived yes-
terday from her trial cruise, came into harbour in the rail-
ing to )31.—The Sprightly, steam vessel, Mesh r Com-
mander G. Aatn, returned to this port to-day from Ply-
mouth.

AUSTRIA.

fhr Austnan cabinet has convoked the members
Jr MC Darmstadt League in a cooference to be held
ut Vienna. It is to be inferred from this
that the present crisis in Berman customs affairs will
tiseally receive a solution.
the imperial government is upon the eve of con-
cluding. a convention with the plenipotentiaries of
Modena and Parma, now in Vienna, by which those
duchies will be incorporated in the Austrian customs
union. Austria undertakes to guarantee their pre-
sent customs revenues to the duchies—namely, to
Parma 1,050,000 Austrian lire, and to Modena
1,1:10,000 lire, and the surplus will be divided in'
stated proportions.
A treaty has just been concluded between Austria
and Russia for the suppression of smuggling.

THE POLICE COURTS.

C LERK EN WELL.
John (Jarrett, a young man, was charged with stealing a
quantity of plate, the property of Mr. Simon Anstey, of
Tottenham Grove, Islington. The prisoner a few days ago
called at the house of the prosecutor, and represented to
the servant that he had been sent by Mr. Kelly, builder, of
Islington, to varnish the banisters, &c. Knowing that
gentieman she admitted him without hesitation or sus-
picion, when he took off hie coat, tucked up his shirt
sleeves, told her to fetch him a basin of warm water, which
she brought to him, and he commenced business in a
workmanhke manner. She left him at work, and soon
afterwards she missed the prisoner frotr the house, and
also 13 silver spoons, which he had stolen from the par-
lour. Information was given to the police with a descrip-
tion of the prisoner, and he was apprehended,
Mr. Kelly, the builder, said he knew nothing whatever
of the prisoner, and never authorised him to call at the
house of Mr. Matey.
The prisoner denied the charge, but was remanded.

LAMBETH.
A gentleman, whose name did not transpire, applied to
Mr. Elliott for his assistance on behalf of a poor afflicted
person who aupsopanted him, and who had been grossly
imposed on by a heartless quack. The applicant stated
that the poor man bad been deaf and dumb from infancy,
but having been brought up at the asylum, and be natu-
rally very quick, acquired a perfect knowledge of the eye-
tem of education taught in that institution. He also learnt
the trade of a tailor, and by his industry in his business
war making a good living. Some months ago, an advertise-
ment in one of the newspapers unfortunately met his eye, in
which it was set forth that deafness, no matter of what
duration, was instantly cured, without pain or operation,and that the application of the wonderful remedy into the
ears of those afflicted with deafnessfor forty or fifty years,
enabled them to hear a watch tick at arm's length.
The man applied to the advertiser, Mr. Bennett,
of 80, Upper Stamford-street, who learning that
the person had been deaf and dumb from birth,
undertook to cure him, and exacted a fee of two guineas to
begin with. He subsequently charged him five shillings
more fur severed bottles of stuff to rub his ears with, and
told him from time to time that he war going on most
favourably and should ultimatelT be quite well. The pa-
tient feeling no symptom of improvement, ultimately
applied to a well known surgeon and aurist, and was given
to understand that no human skill could remove his afflic-
tion. On learning this he Nought an interview with Mr.
Bennett, and demanded back his money and a suit of
clothes or their value, which he had supplied, but the
" doctor" treated him with indifference, and he had not
afterwards been able to see him.
Mr. Elliott was of opinion that the poor man would be
perfectly justified in giving the party into custody on a
charge of obtaining money under false pretences.

GERMANY.

BERLIN, Juxx 16.
The Danish government's repudiation of the loans
contracted by tho insurrectionary governments of
Schleswig-Holstein, is a hard blow for the capitalists
at Hamburg, whore the major part of the bonds were
held. Remonstrances and protests will be laid before

the Frankfort Diet,on the plea that the governments
in the duchies were recognised, and the Statthalter-
schaft even installed by the German powers. The
success of such application is very improbable, though
M. von Manteuffel, it is said, will warmly support it.
Nevertheless some hope of getting the measure re-
tracted must be entertained, for the bonds still stand
at 20 per cent.

THE ZOLLVEREIN.

BERLIN, JVNI 16.
When the German papers first stated that M. von
Bismark was sent to Vienna with an especial com-
mission to negotiate a commercial treaty, I did not
hesitate to contradict the report, chiefly on the
strength of my knowledge of that gentleman's cha-
racter and opinions. But when the assertion was
yesterday so universally repeated with plausible de-
tails, I yielded to the numerical force of the wit-
nesses, and communicated what passed with the
white bore for an established fact. Nevertheless,
my feel view of the matter proves to have been the
right ens. The ministerial journal of this morning
oflicialh, deals:se the whole report to be "ma
fletism" the,. sever having been any intention of
inwvedeg M. ma Biwa to lay before the

FOREIGN PO3T4GE.

The recent postal arrangements with Prussia are
most importaet, since they demonstrate the praegeatility of
all Bettors cbars'ng postage by as uniform weight, anti
that weight a very liberal one. Lettere can now be pre-
paid in this country, to destination, according to the bra-
wnier wale for a single letter, to almost every part of Eu-
rope, to Egypt, and the Levels', if sent in the Prussian
closed mails, which are made up is London daily. Unfor-
tesately, these arrangements do sot secure a low and uni-
form rate of postage. The postage for a single letter rut
Prussia varies now from Bd. to Is. 3d., occordirig to the plat* to
which it is directed. The whole charge for • letter to Prussia
is 84. A few years ago the English postage alone was 22.2 d.
It is to be regretted that while Esglaad mid Presses ware
eateries into new arrangements, they did sot make the
ride of postage to all countries through Prussia a uniform
one,—say M. a letter. Prussia, so doubt, would have con-
sented to this if her territory had been made the ordinary
route for the rsrrespondence of northern, central, sad
@Went Europe. According to the present erreagenteuts,
the coo respondence of only a few places are sent in the
Prussian dosed mails, if not specially addressed.
Owing to the geographical positiou of FraAlle, that
country forms the most direct postal route to southern
Europe. It becomes of the utmost importance, therefore,
that France should be imbued to simplify sod reduce her
postage rates. Ska has now railroads 'efficient to
break the balk of mails before they have to be
yell by lees convenient means, and she has therefore no
interest in checking the amount of correspondence to the
various parts of the world, which have to pass through her
territory. Even If France were to imitate the temple of
Freesia, and assimilate the standard of weight for a tingle
letter to that of England, it would be of importance, as is
would simplify the portal arrangements between the two
countries, and would he equivalent to a considerable franc-
' tiqn of postage. Belgium, another great thoroughfare
through which British and European mails pass, still adheres
;to the illiberal policy of charging postal rates according to
,ths quarter of an ounce scale. Tins is more remarkable
voosir, that all nations beyond it, the correspondersee of
h pass through tklgium and Prussia, have consented
,to charge by the bal(.ounce scale.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Avourr 24.
Alexander von Humboldt, who has accompanied
the King of Prussia to the see coast, surprises people
by the bodily vigour which he displays in spite of an
ago of eighty-three yarn. After walking and driving
about for the greater part of the day, and partaking
in all sorts of public festivities, he reads aloud in the
evening to the royal party without showing signs of
fatigue.
Preparations are being made for abolishing the
lino of custom-houses along the Eider, and subject-
ing
Holstein to the high Danish tariff. The only
difficulty is as regards Altona, which must at least
remain a free port, unless its total annihilation be
contemplated. Since the arrival of a Danish garri-
son at Altona, the military eon*nanders at that town
and at llamburg, have taken great precautions to
prevent the Danish and Hanseatic soldiers from meet-
tog at places of public amusement in the common
suburbs, for fear of affrays, which might assume a
very violent character.

chant, named Eli, who came with his wife to visit a

Mr. Eli, revenged himself by writing to the police at

of increased transactions by one or two of the leading

East Wheal Ituse, Wheal Mary Ann, and South

The Drusea, assisted by the Bedouins, have com-
menced hostilities against the Turks. They attacked
the Turkish camp in the night. An official report
states that 400 insurgents were killed, and 200 made
prisoners. Many persons, however, doubt the cor-
rectness of this statement, since the commander-in-
chief has seat for reinforcements to Napless. The
roads in Syria are more dangerous than ever; com-
munication with Damascus is interrupted.

sifting and inquiries of the official assignee. they had turned
out to be singularly correct and accurate. In the next place
be was a iduly to be distinguished from n men adventurer;
fur a quarter of a century he had carried no a most respect.
able and profitable business ; and in 1849 he was consider.
ably before the world—at least 2,0001. Another remarkable
feature, which distinguished him from almost ell pence*
who came to that court, was the truth and accuracy with
which he had stated the debts owing to Dim. If there was
one feature more frequent than another in eases of this de-
scription it was the untrue character of the debts stated to
be owing to the bankrupt. In 99 cues out of WO, the of&
cial assignee was sent in panuit of rubbish; the good debts
were all collected beforehand, the bankrupt had taken care
of that ; and when the parties put down as debtors were
applied to, it turned out either that they owed nothing, or
could pay nothing, and were cot worth the trouble of pur-
suing. That was not the case here; Mr. Colquhoue. had I
stated his debts with the greatest truth and particularity;
and the greater part of them had been got in. That
was a future high'y creditable to him. Much more
so was his conduct since the bankruptcy : for in a CIAO
of this description, above all others, the assistance of the
bankrupt made the greatest possible difference to the credi.
tors. liad he taken a contrary course, either to make a
purse for himself, or to aid any particular friend, he would
not have adopted this course, or made up his accounts wit►
smelt particularity. Ile (the Commissioner) extremely
regretted that these good points in the case were so far
counterbalanced by others that he could nut indulge his
wish of giving the bankrupt a first-elms certificate. He
left the court a frco man, without any reproach whatever
on his character, integrity, or honesty, and he would tarry
with him the good wishes of all those with whom he had
had litga ir.gq.
An :immediate certificate of the second-class was accord-
ingly granted.
London, England, 1852-11-02

1833, he was elated for (Brussels, and represented
the capital until 1848. In 1841 he was made
governor of the province of Antwerp, under the
Lebean ministry, and subsequently wu trans-
ferred in the same capacity to tho province
of Liege. In 1880 he was appointed minister pleni-
potentiary of the Xing of the Belgians in Italy. It
was M. do Bronekere who negotiated the treaty with
Piedmont.

M. Licdts, who, as a minister ed interim, was a
member of the late cabinet, and had the same office
in that which is now completed, is, like M. de
Brouckere, a man whose wise and firm liberalism,
intelligence, and experience, are generally seknow-
ledgel M. Liedts his been successively substitute
of the Precurcur 1u Boi and judge. Like M. de
Brouckere, he was ono of the secretaries of the
Congres National; he well also a member of the
chamber of deputies, and once its president. He
only vacated his seat in consequence of the law of
incompatibilities. Ho was a member of the liberal
ministry, of 1840 to 18141 ; and in the latter ear
was made governor of Iteinault, and of
Brabant.

M. Faider, like M. Bronekere, studied at Liege. He
was first nominated substitute of the procureur du
Roi at Louvain, and afterwards transferred in the
same capacity to Antwerp. In time he became Ad-
vocate• General at the Court of Appeal at Brussels,
and subsequently Advocate-General at the Court of
Cassation. M. Faider is an able lawyer and a man
distinguished for lucidity of intellect. lie joins mo-
deration of character to great firmness of principles.
M. Fiercot, who before accepting the portfolio of
the interior was burgomaster of Liege, is a native of
Brussels. lie, like his colleagues, received his edu-
cation at Liege. Ho afterwards became awes of the
Court of Appeal at Liege, and had not abandoned
legal pursuits when he was called to direct public
affairs. M. Piercot is a firm and sincere liberal, and
it is said en excellent speaker.
The /adept:dance, of the 30th, says " The tele-
graphic despatch which announced to the 2111K4 the
election of M. Delius.° to the Presidency of the
Chamber, qualified him as the radical candidate.
This error ;is calculated to give foreigners false and
misleading ideas of our situation. M. Delfosse is a
liberal, not a radical ; and here it is well known there
is a wide difference between the two opinions."

appointments given yesterday in the telegraphic de-
spatch of our correspondent.
The indepentlemee says:—" To-day the new mi-
nisters will take the;eaths at the hands of the King,
and to-morrow the Moniteur will contain a royal
acre(,, countersigned by M. Itogier, accepting the
11 resignations of MM. Teach and Hoffschmidt ; another
arreti, countersigned br M. lingier, naming M. 11.
de lirouckcre Minister for Foreign Affairs; a third,
countersigned by M. de lirouckere, accepting the
resignation of M. Hogier ; and, lastly, two others,
appointing MM. Piercot and Fader. The position
of MM. Liedts, Van Hoorebeke, and Anoul is in no
wise altered."

None of the gentlemen who compose the new
ministry are unknown to the public:; a word on their
title to public confidence may not however be out of
place. M. de Brouckere, after studying with bril-
liant success at the University of Liege, was nomi-
nated substitute of the I'rocureur of the King at
Ituremontle, and afterwards Proenreur of the King at
the same town. Elected in 1830 a member of the
Conyres National, and appointed by that assembly to
bo one of its secretaries, he took airorninent part in
its glorious work. On the 29th of August, 1831, the
arrondissement of Ruremonde elected him its repre-
sentative in the Chamber of Deputies. In May,

GERMANY.

Letters from Berlin state that the 12th article of,
the constitution, freeing the exercise of political
rights from all dependence on the religion of the
citizen, is ono of those which will bo most seriously
modified by the revision of the charter now impend-
ing. Tho exclusion of the Jews is tho first aim of
the reactionaries, who are anxious that Prussia
should bo "a Christian state;" but the liberals in
Prussia rightly fear that if the retrograde party can
succeed in depriving the Jews, who avow that they
are no Christians, of their votes, they will not be
long in pretending to decide on the claims of other
citizens—the free communists, German catholics, and
other nonconformists—to be considered Christians
for the purposes of the constitution.
Count llatzfeld, the Prussian minister at Paris,
left Berlin on the 28th ult. for his post.
Letters from Breslau state that of the 20,428
primary electors entitled to vote in that city only
4,272, or less than one-fourth, exorcised the fran-
chise in the late elections.

I The Panluskirehe, at Frankfort, in which the
German National Assembly voted the imperial
crown to tho King of Prussia, was restored, on the
24th ulr.,to ecclesiastical uses.

the Vienna Gazette states that the negotiations
for a concordat with the Itomish see are to commence
forthwith. By desire of the Pope, they will be con-
ducted at the Austrian capital.
The Augsburg Gazette, the strong Austrian ten-
dencies of which are notorious, relates by its Agram
correspondent a most atrocious ease of Austrian per-
secution, the victim of which was an ex-editor of an
opposition Croatian newspaper—the Sad Slarisehen
Zeitung. This newspaper, like some of its fellows,
has disappeared with the returning restrictions on
the press, but its conductor remained, the easy object
of revenge ; accordingly he was the other day seized
and placed in the ranks of the infantry regiment
Grand Prince Constantine. The pretext of this pro-
cedure is that M. Prans, the ex-editor of the narra-
tive, was six or seven years ago drawn for the army.
He was, however, then dismissed to civil life upon
the report of the examining surgeon of the army, and
felt himself at liberty to settle for life. Now that he
is a husband and the father of three children, he is
suddenly taken from home, his wife and children are
left without father or husband, and the only pretext
for this violence is, that some informality attended
the first discharge of its victim from the claims of the
military authonties.

DRAMA.

SURREY.
Another, and upon the whole we think the best,
stage adaptation of 11 Beecher Stowe's world wide popu-
lar novel, .e Uncle Toned Cabin," wn produced at this
theatre last night. The novel itself is little else than a con-
tinuous mele•drams, and but for its multiplicity of incident,
and consequently the length to which "it would play,"
might be put upon the stage with scarce any alteration.
The difficulty of the dramatist appears to be in selecting
from such a mass of interesting materials, and in modem-
leg them, so as while preserving the general scheme of the
story, the meet prominent of the aituations, and the most
striking of the dialogue, to bring the wh>la within acting
limits. The chief merit of the Surrey version is, that it adheres
more closely than any of its rivals to the original. The first
two acts—the drams extends to three—are little more then
a literal transfer to the stage of the early chapters of the
novel. We have the sale of Uncle Tom nod little Harry to
Maley; the parting of the former from Aunt Chloe end
family ; the flight of Eliza with the child, the pursuit by
Haley, and the trappers, the escape across the broken ice of
the Ohio, the meeting of George Minis and Eliza on the
Ohio side, the all but capture of the three, and the rescue
by, not the stalwart quaker as in the text, but by Dia
Walls, a Kentucky drover, who does duty for him.
In the third act tiro author Indulges in greater liberty.
Departing altogether front the orginrl, be makes
Eliza and her child recaptured and sold to La.
gree, the down-river planter; introduces Si. Clair
as the Brasher-in-law of George Harris, and by his means
ultimately recovers Elite and he r alibi to her husband—
but not, until after a desperate combeat with bowie knives
(nut unlike the sword•point duel in the " Cor-ican Bro-
thers") between George and Degree, who ( Legree) is ulti-
mately denounced as a pirate, aid shot in the attempt to
him. Uncle Torn dies in exact accordance with Mrs.
Stowe's amingement. The two first acts were warmly
applauded, but the last being a little too long certainly re-
quires pruning to some extent. The &clam was very good,
and the several parts of the dramatis 'Jerome were well
filled, George Gerrit by Mr. Creswick ; Legree by Mr. T.
Mead; and Uncle Tons by Mr. 11. Widelicomhe especially
so. The piece) may he said to have been eminently MC.
metal, and will, doubtless, have a long run. •

PIEDMONT.
TURIN, Oar. 28.
We are still in a state of doubt and uncertainty
respecting the composition of the new cabinet.
Every one is looking to Count Cavour for a list of
the persons with whom he paposes to take office,
but as yet none has &prate& This afternoon he
has left Turin for the King's country residence, and
should the new cabinet be definitively constructed, I
ithe name of its members might be looked for in to-
morrow's Gazette. Yesterday, a cabinet council was
held under the presidency of the King, at which
several persons, not members of the government,
were present.
After the council, M. Charvas, the prolate re- 1
cently appointed to tho See of Genoa, at the desire
of the King, waited on his Majesty. At a me•
went when general anxiety is felt for the safety of
the constitution, and the complete development of
that policy which has already freed us from many
priestlyi trammels, the visits of the high clergy to
the palace are regarded with great jealousy. -The
P. antes° probably do well to regard the son of
Charles Albert with a generous confidence,
but any approximation on his part to-1
wards a transaction with Rome should be watched
with suspicion. Reports are current that Count
Cavour, able financier as he is, and liberal as he has
been believed to be, has returned from Paris dis-
posed to make large concessions to the clergy. Whe-
ther this assertion rests upon better grounds than
the fact that ho has subscribed about 161. to the
Newman fund I know not. M. His Butenval has
left for Paris.

Our Turin correspondent, writing on Oct. 20, says :
"Count Cavour has abandoned the task of forming
a ministry, as he would not consent to make the con-
cessions to Rome which it appears were required by
the preemies of foreign influence. It is Count Balbo
who has undertaken to form a ministry, which will
be a great retrograde step. Neither M. d'Azcglio
nor General Lamarmora would enter a mioistry
with him and Revel, who would be the Minister of
Finance, with Balbo at the bead of the government.
The French ambassador. M. de Battenval, who was
about to leave, now remains."

ASTLEY'S.

----
The season opened at this theatre last night with
one of those glittering hippcedrantatie speetaeles, un which
it in a ;west measure founds its claim to public patronage
and support. The title of the new spectacle is the " Bride
of Golconda," and, as the name imports, the scene is laid
in those eastern regions which, from early associations' are
well suited to the purpJecs of the scenic dramatist, whose
object it is to dazzle the sen o nod impress the imagination,
without much regard for the understanding. Tie cur.
lain rises on a lino hunting scene, in which AMs.
rath, the Sultan of Golconda, surrounded by his
court, is r, posing from the toils of the chase. Amongst
the lair flowers that bloom there, &lima, the daughter
of the visite, Alibey, surpasses all the cast in beauty, and
captivates the monarch, who resolves to nuke her his queen.
lie has, however, a rival "near the throne" in the person
of his general, Ilassan, a man of deep and crafty genius,
who has already eau*. it the exile of AI ',wade, the former
general, after ruining lug daughter, Zertinda. The king
hes made a vow to visit alone the tomb of his father,
Aeraitin, a good and virtuous prince, whose example he
wishes to follow. While praying bi fore the tomb the
genius of the ring, Sysalarac, issues therefrom, mounted on
a milk-white steed, and gives to him a ring, from
certain indications of which be will know %nen he
is do'ng good or evil—right or wrong. Ile has
soon the opportunity of trying its efficietey,
for, his jealous feelings being excited by Hassan, he re-
solves to murder Selma, and pays no attention to the
warning of the ring. Whilst in the very act of sacrifice,
he is changed into a frightful beast, and, Actaeon-like, is
pursued by Lis own hunters. lie is taken find caged; but
even in this eonditicn ho contrives, by gestures, to make
himself known to his faithful &lima, and regains his human
shape jest in Limo to wive his capitol from the traitorous
assault of Hassan. This affords en opportunity for One of
these stirring battle recites in which, by the aid of is great
drll of noises much motion, and a liberal expenditure of
coloured lights, one of those great effects is brought out
which drives the gallery into a storm of applause. The
scenes in the arena, which era the great feature at this
theatre, were last night exhibited in all their brilliancy.
Chiarini and the Brothers Siegrist being the prin-
cipal equestrians. A laughable farce, called "Mischief
Making," wound up the entertainments. The theatre was
not so well attended as it usually is on the opening night.
It may be mentioned that an elephant and a fox are
amongst the cantles which have been transplanted to Astley's
for the present season.

BiRBADOES.

The American Consuf(iii.iayes) died on the
14th ult., buried with an undue amount of military
honours, the whole garrison turning out, &c.
liarbadoes had been favoured with its wonted sun-
shine :and showers, whereby a crop of 48,500 hogs-
heads had been shipped off, and an equally good one
is anticipated for the coming year. Great disgust
had been created by the acting governor's appoint-
ment of Mr. Bouverie Aileyno to be acting inspector-
general of police ; this young gentleman (of 21 or 22
years) being preferred to well-tried as well as older
men belonging to the force. He is a eon of Sir Rey-
nold Alleyne, of Barbadoes. The island was gene-
rally very healthy.
MARTINIQUE.
In Martinique, at Fort de France, yellow fever
was making sad ravages. Opening out a part of the
fosse or canal round the town had undoubtedly gene-
rated the scourge, and the military, as well as the
inhabitants in the immediate neighbourhood, were
carried off at the rate of fully 15 per cent.

LEEWARD ISLANDS.

Antigua had been visited by heavy rains, but not
of sufficient duration to break up the long drought
which had prevailed. A resolution had been adopted
by the House of Assembly for appointing three de-
legates
from that colony to co-operate in England
with those from Jamaica. The council had refused
to concur in the proposed grant of 100/. to the
National Associat►on. The attorney-general had in-
troduced a bill for establishing a fire brigade in the
city of St. John's.
The St. Lucia Palladium gives the subjoined re-
turn of the total shipments of produce from the
colony—viz., 3,721 hhds., 226 tierces, and 1,776
barrels of sugar, and 7091 puncheons of molasses.
The island continued healthy, and seasonable rains
had fallen. The continued non-arrival of the new
governor was a source of much dissatisfaction to the
colonists. A shock of an earthquake was felt on the
23rd ult.

HEDOEIIOGS.—A gentleman residing in Norfolk
recently found that some chickens of the Spanish breed,
which he was rearing in hutches in his garden, were disap-
pearing night after night, through the agency of some noc-
turnal depredator. As the garden wan only a short distance
from a river, it was concluded that these depredations were
committed by rats. About 11 o'clock one night, as the
owner was passing through his garden, he beard a great
commotion in tho chicken hutches, and, oa proceeding to
the spot, discovered that there was some animal chuiog the
chickens rapidly round the hutch with a view to theirde-
struction. Having secured the assailant, by closing the
door of the hutch, on lights being procured the depredator
was found to be a large hedgehog, which was instantly
killed in the butch.
