are near its tees.*

The Duchess of Genoa will leave Naples about

Prince Humbert will succeed her, it is said, at Naples,

The present Ministry has determined to recall
Signor Bens* from Tunis, where he is consul. The
appointment was made by Signor Battarzi, and ex-
cited great dissatisfaction, which will now be
removed.

I told you in a previous letter that Colonel Fumel
bad sent in his resignation, on account of the
attacks to which he was subjected by certain mem-
bersof the Left, one of whom is related to a veryactive
promoterof the brigandage. In consequence, however,
of urgent representations from all the communes of
the province of Cogent', begging that Calabria
might not be deprived of such a useful man, the
Minister gives Colonel Fumel a congf of forty days,
but will not amept his resignation. He will arrive
in Turin to-morrow, bringing with him several
veluabie documents, which will afford much infor-
mation to the governalbaut and afterwards to the
public, for they are to be published.

PROPOSED REVIVAL OF TRANSPORTA-
TION TO AUSTILiLLL

(From tho Melbourne Lyre al February 2b.)

The; failure el Men ticket-Of-leave Gribbin in Eng-
land has lad to • proposal for the revival of tanempoetation,
which seems to have met with • large degree of acceptance
from the British public. Something like • panic has set
owing to the extraordioary increase of crimes of violin*, in
the streets of London. The papers teem with the deeds of
the garotters, and with the adventures of elderly gentlemen
who have wine to grief through walking the streets at
night. The recent lawilimin of Punch have marcoly any
other 'abject of annotate than the various inventions
divined to protect the British throat from the insidious
gtaarrWottor The last number of the CornAill Magentee is
devoted to an elaborate and ingenious exposition of the
whole art and mystery of prottiog, illustrating with ad.
miriade impartiality, for thebeneht of both housekeepers and
hounkreekers, how throats may be senora/loony choked and
haws most conveniently broken into. The sodden out-
beak, or rather reviva4 of this alarming species of mime,
he. inspired a general distrust of the existing power of the
law theoughent the community, the first result. of which
are • ay spirit the ticket-of-leave system, and • demand
ter the resumption of the punishment by transportation.
Kr. Justice Byles declares from the bench that transpar.
tenon in the oily remedy spinet the garotter ; and the
Tiaras knots, in the Nome of the people, that the aiminal
shall hoeut out from Reedited.
While we cannot but allow that England has a perfect
right to resort to transportation as • means of punininituit,
' we must emphatiadly proteet, on behalf of the Australian
oolonien, against Wig selected as the receptacle of English
Toinspanationwe believe to be so excellent mode
of paeithoteat, affording, perhaps, the °sly fair cameos of
idormatia to the winner; hut let England choose the
field of the experiment °ankle of taw colonies. We are
DO longer lit to be her dirt-heap and her rubbish-pound.
Let that honour be bestowed elsewhere. We protest spinet
being mode the whip boy for John Nall. We will not
have the British ticketa-leave men at any price, and we
will use every lawful mesas, al before, to prevent their land-
ing on these shores. If, aoardieg to the eternal fitness of
thinp, it is that a certain number of throats
should be it is bat right that the British
throat sh go to the British garotter. Our throats are
es to us as thine of the Loodoners to themselves,
sad oar objections to the garotte not less decided. We
mama but admire the amazing coolness with which the
Timm recommends that the ticket-of-lave evil should be
got rid of by being simply transferred to Australia, or soy
other entof-the- way owner of the world. "As soon em
possible," says our amiable 000 temporary " let us ship off
thew realms to plains where they eau In Mealy watched
when at largo, where they will fled men as &boos and am
well nand ea themselves, when they will receive rough
punishment' for all offences splint life or property,
but plenty don hest employment." (!) We do not
know whet particular colony the Tina he. in its Dye, as
being ready to Hod polionnes and prisms to take care of
English =Weals, sad to give them " plenty of honest em-
ployment e' but we venture to say that there is no commu-
nity so philanthropically disposed on this continent. We
have all of us quite enough to do to take care of our own
crindeals, without burdening ourselves with the crime of
England. There is not so much " plenty of honest employ-
ment" as that our '• strong men" can afford to give it up to
English convict's. In floe, and however unpatriotic may be
the confession, we believe we have DOM, other mission
in the world thee to be gaolers for the British
people. We are already burdened with • large
portion of English crime in oar prisons, and we would beg,
in as strong teems ea possible, to be canoed from re-
calving any other favours of the same sort, or from acting
as a pasture ground for Sir Jcehua Jebb'e spoilt lambs.
The objection is oat which we do not make on behalf of
Victoria directly, but of all the Australian °lionise It is
not probable that this eoloey would be selected as the nose
of the new experiment in the ticket-W.lam) system ; but
whatever pert of this continent is so chines, w• °moot but
be affected by the choice. Every Australian is equally
bowed to protest spinet the introduction of British convicts.
Watson Austrahaand Queensland are cited by the Tisanes
setUemeen fit to receive Eeghsh criminals, and who would
have no objection to do so ; but even were this the fact,
every other colony would still be humid to oppose trans-
port/thee. Queensland, says the Tines, " cells aloud for
ooeviot labour to oatetract her harbours, and reads, sad
railways e' but this we believe to bo • gran libel on the
character of the northern colony. At least, if Queensland
has been ceiling aloud for convicts, she haa called with a
trumpet of most uncertain sound, for this is the first we
have heard of the matter. Some years ago, whop but an
humbler dependency of New South Wales, it is probable
that there did exist in Moreton Bay a party who desired
the introduction of convict labour, but the cry has long
10011 died out. At present the vat majority of
the Western
of Queensland, sod, we believe, also
• Western Austad* are opposed to she intro-
Delia of omelets, and would join heartily with the
other 0140114111 in redistiog the re-imposition of the foul
taint yen this eowliiieot. The recent discoveries Is the
interior, and the proved facilities for overland communi•
adios, have tawhed materially to remove the Iranian be-

tioa spinet Day one of them being chosen as a peal settle-
