A SCENT IN THE FRIENDLY ISLAND.•z.

We had an agreeable walk back to Nukualofa,
where, previously to returning on board, we ♦i.ittd the
grave of poor Captain Croker. Ilia remains lie close to the
Mission Chapel, and a head-board, with a plate of copper,
which we renewed, records the date of his nitlaneholy
death. The gentlemen of the mission accompanied me on
board to dinner, to which I also invited Mumui and old
Vaca-ten-ola. Although dressed in native costume (a flow-
ing robe of native cloth, leaving shoulders and chest ex-
posed), their behaviour at table was that of Halsted gen-
tlemen. We had a good deal of conversation, carried on,
of course, through the missionaries, on the subject of old
dignities and family names in Tonga, the chief relating the
origin of many of the latter, and Vice teu-ola ex-
plaining that his name, literally translated, meant
" the canoe that is successful in catching the sh..rks."
They seemed pleased at being interrogated on these
points, and to have an opportunity of talking of their
family connexions and dignities, which are evidently still
highly valued, and were so much flattered by our atten-
tion to these minutia that they declared before going away
that they lad never been treated so like chiefs before by
any strangers. Our drums and fifes attracted, as usual, a
great share of attention ; the colt sound of the former,
according to them, excelling all other music. Although
the evening was cool, and Mumui was suffering from a
pulmonary complaint, and seemed to feel the exposure to
the dew, they would not leave the deck, but, unrolling the
train of their robes, and wrapping it gracefully round the
upper part of the body close up to the chin, somewhat after
the manner of a Spanish cloak, stood listening to the music,
looking like beautifully draped statues, until it was time to
depart. A few rockets completed the entertainment, end
added to their gratification ; and, an we were to sail in the
morning, many adieus and good wishes were exchanged ca
all sides ere they were rowed away to the shore.—ErsAi/ki

TSB POLICE CO URT&

MANSION-ROUSE.
Jeremiah Madden, who was on Monday last charged
with having stabbed Charles Connor in a lodging house, in
White Hune-court, Widegate-street, Bishopsgate, was
brought before Alderman Wire for final examination.
The prosecutor and prisoner and other Irish tailors had
been drinking together on Sunday night at a public house
in the neighbourhood of Petticoat-lane, and some unintelli-
gible dispute had taken place. The prosecutor not being
able to get into his own lortging at the unseasonable hour of
breaking up, accepted the invitation of a friend, who was of
the party, to take share of • room, in which it appeared the
prisoner also had a bed, and the moment the prosecutor en-
tered the room he was struck with a pair of sci,sors by the
prisoner who issued from his bed with the weapon.
Mr. O. Allcard, house surgeon at the London Hospital,
said when the prosecutor was brought in on Monday morn-
ing he examined his penon and found a wound under the
left nipple. The scissors produced might have inflicted the
wound, which though in itself not dangerous, might have
been fatal if deeper. The weapon wect through the waist-
coat, which checked the effect of the blow.
William White said that he and Connor, the prosecutor,
and Regan, also a tail. r, met the primmer at a public-
house, where, while they sat, they were on good terms.
They all afterwards went to another public-house, where a
scuffle took plate between the prisoner and Regan. "After-
wards," said the witness, "Connor came with me to my
lodging, and when we got into the room I saw the pri-
goner come from his bed and make a run at Connor.
Connor said he was struck, and the prisoner asked who it
was, and I said it was Regan. I did nut say it was Connor.
The prisoner said he would have his revenge of more of
them. I do not think he knew whom he struck."

Cross-examined by the prisoner—l did not see the man
strike you first.
Petrick Regan said—We had been all drinking beer
together. The prisoner and I had had words together, and
he said be would be satisfied to be hung fur we and for
Connor, and be would have our lives, and then he left the
public-house. Ile lodges in the same room with me. I
went with Connor to Somerset•atreet, where he lodges,
but he could not get in and he came back with me. I was
afraid of my life to go up stain, mid Comm went up before

LOV hi I II•la TO MOURN POO TIM DILTB OP MULAT.

The asses was known 1 y all ; it occasioned a great sensa-
tion Ia the tower ; but nowhere, perhaps, and to no other
person, did it give so much pain ea to the Jacobin shoe-
maker, wheels protector, neighbour, and political model,
Ilarat had been Simon went up stain; he was in a state
of excitement, which soon ezplocitd in swearing and blows.
He bad taken advantage of his going out to send Lefevre
for some wine and brandy, and he himself drank, and made
his wife drink also. " And yet." he exclaimed, " to-day is
the anniversary of the taking of the Hastily !" Then, un-
able to rest, his brain thoroughly heated, his face flushed
drink, and his pipe in his mouth, he dragged his pupil
and Marie J up to the platlorm of the tower, where
he waited to breath* • little treats air, and catch, in the
inamblang noise of the great city, an echo of the distant and
confused homage paid to his expiring idol. " Capes, do
you hear those noises down there ? It is the groans of the
people round the death bed of their friend. I did intend to
have made yea leave off your black clothes to-morrow, but
you shall keep them on now. Cspet shall wear mourning
for Marat. D—d viper that you are, you don't lo9k distressed
at all; you are glad o' his dish !" And so saying he laid
his hand, heavily on the prince's bead, driving it violent y
down upon his shoulders. " I did not know the person
who is dead," replied the child; " but do not think that
I am very glad of it ; we do not wish for the death of any-
one." "Ah ! we do not wish, don't we ! Do you pretead
to talk to us in the style of your tyrants of fathers ?" " 1
said we in the plural," said the chill ; for my family and
myself." Appeased by this grammatical excuse, which a
mulcr ought at least to pre:tail to understand before his
pupil, the smoking demagogue walked up and down
quietly for a moment, sending puffs from his pipe in
every direction, and repeating again and again, with a
Satanic laugh, the phrase which be was charmed to have
devised " Cspet shall wear mourning for Marat !"

HOW ■IMON EDUCATED HIS W RD.

-----
After the Queen'. departure, he studied more and more
strenuously the means of fortifying his talent in the art of
depraviog his pupil. Perhaps he bad received orders to
take measure., in order speedily to arrive at the object I
have stated. Ile changed the mode of living of his royal
scholar; be obliged him to eat more than usual, and to'
drink a great deal of wine ; he allowed him to take bat
little exercise, shortened the time of his recreation in the
garden, and put a total atop to his walks upon the tower.
These new regulation. had a sad effect on the health and
morel condition of the child ; he became fat, and stopped
growing. Before he had fallen under the discipline of
Simon he had never drunk anything but water; he had an
utter aversion to wine, and the violence done to his taste
and habits by his taking this beverage at first produced
nausea and insupportable sickness, and ended by making
him quite ill. At last he was attacked by a violent fever.
The excesses that had made him ill were renewed as
noon as he was well again : the same perseverance in mak-
ing him eat beyond measure, and drink till he was in-
toxicated, and, when his reason was thus obscured, the
name eagerness to make use of his aberration of mind to
induce him to utter horrible oaths and sing infamous
sons'.

The remaining atrocities exercised against this on.
fortunate child, whose only crime was being the son
of his father, must be collected from the work itself,
which in this particular is remarkably complete.
We could have wished, as we said before, that the
author had confined himself wholly to this portion of
his subject. As it is, however, the reuder cannot
fail to be interes'ed with the recital of the details of
one of the most monstrous of the crimes which pol-
luted the French revolution.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.

MAIDSTONE.—The warm sunny days which have occurred
throughout the past week seem to have produced a less be-
neficial effect upon the plants than was anticipated. Large
numbers of the vermin have been destroyed, but their places
have immediately been filled by a younger and more nu-
merous progeny ; and the lice, instead of being dimini,hed,
swarm more thickly than at the time of our last report; the
bins being in many places completely covered. To all appear-
ances the plants in a large number of excellent
grounds are undergoing a thorough blight, and there
is little prospect of e crop being realised in this dis-
trict. In Alereworth the bops are considered to be
making a favourable progress, the weather now being
must delightful. Some planters, however, are not very
sanguine about them. Probably at places hills will be
partly blighted, but some of the vermin upon inspection
are found to be dead. Positively some grounds will not
produce a bag per acre, owing to the shortness of bine.
The hops in Yalding and Huotonduring the past week have
much improved. In Edenbridge the hops continue to im-
prove rapidly, and are free from vermin. In the beat
grounds they are fast coming into bur, which is looking
healthy and strong. There is also a considerable impreve-
ment in the weak and backward grounds. In the neigh-
bourhood of Sevenoaks, Seal, and Under ltivcr, the last few
days have certainly :improved the hops very much in this
neighbourhood ; they are fast coming into burr. There is here
and there a slack piece, and the bine in some of these a fort-
night since was not more than half up the poles, hut they
are now up, or nearly so. and may produce more than any
one could expect, particularly as it is a backward
season. About Canterbury, the plantations, though
much infested with vermin, appear for the most part
struggling succeasfully through all difficulties, and now,
being iu burr, the estimate is that two-thirds of last year's
crop will be this season realised, should the weather con-
tinue as favourable as it has been for some days past, sod
the estimated duty of 160,0001. finds friends.—Sonth

A MIDLAND COUNTIES FARMER.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

VIENNA, Aro. 9.
It has transpired that the note sent to Constanti-
nople, and which was not despatched from this ca-
pital before the 3rd inst., has been drawn up not
in the name of the great powers represented in the
conference in this city, but in that of the Austrian
government, which acts as if its mediation had been
accepted by the Czar. It must be stated, how-
ever, that the English, French, and Prussian cabi-
nets approve of the note in question, and that their
respective representatives in Constantinople will re-
ceive, or rather, have already by this time, received
instructions to support that note and to advise the
Porte to send a favourable and amicable reply to
Vienna, as well u to consent to despatch an ambas-
sador to St. Petersburg, for the purpose of finally
arranging the Russo-Turkish question. The Porte
is virtually required to take the initiative, and. to all
intents and purposes, to go a-begging of the Empe-
ror of Russia to effect an arrangement, and yet the
latter has kept himself perfectly free from any
engagement respecting the Danubian Principalities.
The Sultan is urged to declare that he ace; pta all the
provisions and stipulations contained in the
treaties of Kainardij and of Adrianople ; that
he will be bound by them; that he will faith-
fully uphold all the rights and privileges
conferred thereby on the Greek orthodox church,
and that he will maintain all the concessions granted
'by his late firmans. All that being done—hut not
till all is done—the Czar will be happy to teeeive an
Ottoman ambasaador in St. Petersburg; the latter,
of course, giving his own interpretation t 3 the above
treaties and firmans, as well as to the Sultan's pro-
mise to adhere to them.

Telegraphic despatches from Constantinople of the
Ist, three days later than our correspondence, have
been received. The Porte had issued an address to
the nation in answar to the manifesto, signed by the
Czar. There was still a willingness, on the part ol•
the Turkish government, to bv guided by the counsel
of the Western powers. The Russian consul at
Adrianople had left his post—a fact which had been
seized by alarmists for their purposes.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 23.
The following note, to which I alluded in my last,

SWITZERLAND.

The Zurich Gazette reports from Berne, on the
19th, that the Austrian government had commnui-
cited a memorandum on the grievances for which she
' cbmands redress.
In the text of General GHtday's proclamation,
expelling 3,000 Ticinese from Lombardy, this mea-
sure is justified by the previous " ' legal suppres-
sion of the seminaries of Palleggio and Amami, and
the sequestration of their goods, and farther, by the
expulsion of eight Lombard monks. Far these sera
of the cantonal authorities, the Swiss oomlltherstioa
has refused to give any satisfaction to Austria. Hence,"
&c. Here follows the decree. This hypocritical
pretence of retaliation may pass at Milan, bat in
Switzerland, and wherever there is a free press, it is
well known that for each the eight Austrian monks
expelled by the Minim, the government of Lom-
bardy had erbitrarßy expelled a score of Swiss from
its territory. The seminaries spoken of were
only suppressed after a long struggle, which their
directors maintained with the law of the land, and
not until they had invoked the aid of a foreign
power.

The 9th instant was observed at Stockholm as a

General Lsiningen, from Austria, arrived hue bn
Sunday, Jan. 13th, to settle the differences between
Austria and the Porte. This arrival was so um.
expected, that Colonel Roes despatched the sense
night the English government steamer to Malts.
Though very great secrecy is observed about General
Leiningen's mission, still I have information from
good sources that the following are his principal de-
mands upon the Porte :
The supremacy or protectorate over all the
Christian population in the provinces bordering upon
Austrian territory.
The cession of sovereignty over certain tracts
of land near the "Boca de Cattaro," belonging
by right, and possessed de trade by Turkey, in virtue
of treaties stipulated with Austria.
The recognition of the independence of Montenegro.
To back these demands 15,000 Austrian troops are
put in march towards Ragusa. General Leiningen
demanded peremptorily a reply in three days. Me-
hemet Ali Pacha answered-0 That he does not
want any delay, and can give at once his answer
thus: that io respect to any territorial question or
sovereignty the Porte will not yield one hair's
breadth. That the Christian subjects of his Imperial
Majesty the Sultan do not want any foreign protec-
tor, as they are not oppressed, and enjoy the most
perfect autonomy in the administration of their reli-
gious matters, without any interference on the put

COMMITTEE BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.

-
Mr. E. DENISON rem' to call the attention of Lord J.
Russell to the state of the Committee Business of the House
and to ask him a question upon it. At this moment there
were ten public committees sitting, independently of three
of the appointment of which notices were on the paper of to-
day, on one of which it was proposed to put 27 members.
Besides those there were several election committees
nominated, and it was proposed to name several more in
each week between this and Easter. Then there were 63
private bills which had passed their second readings, and
were ready for committees to be nominated by the com-
mittee of selection. He wished to invite the attention of
the noble lord to this state of the business, and to ask if he
would endeavour to arrange with gentlemen who wished
to propose select committees to postpone them, except in
cases of extreme urgency, till the time of members was
more at their command than at present.
Lord J. RUSSELL said that seeing the number of com-
mittees which were sitting, and would be proposed, :he
thought it would be advisible not to appoint more select
, committees, and he hoped hon. gentlemen would consent,
' unless they were very wrest, to poelpone any further ap-
pointments till later la the session. He hoped the hon.
member for Dover, who had given notice of a committee
to-day. would comply with that suggestion.
Mr. RICE said under the circumstances he should not
press his motion.

METROPOLITAN COURT OF SEWERS.

At the Court held yesterday the commissioners
present were, Mr. Jebb, chairman, Sir Charles Fellowee,
Mr. George Baker, Mr. G. Hawkshaw, Mr. W. Hooking,
Mr. H. C. Hunt, and Mr. G. S. Smith.
From the financial secretary's statement, it appeared that
after payments, an available balance was left of
24,7841. 12s. Bd.

THE OINZZAL IMAINAOR SCHEME.
It will be remembered that at the last court a discussion
indirectly and irregularly arose on the general drainage
plan so long promised by the commissioners. and under-
stood to be at last near readiness, and that Mr. Hocking,
who provoked the debate, gave notice, in order that the
matter should be more fully gone into, of tho following re-
solution : " That the Secretary be requested to read the
resolutions of which he gave notice in the general commit-
tee on the 7th of October ult., and the resolution passed by
the committee on the 12th of October with reference
thereto; and thereupon to inquire on bow many occasions
since the latter date the committee have had the drawings
of the scheme of Arterial Drainage, proposed by the late
engineer to the court, under consideration, and with what
results, if any."
It was accordingly expected that yesterday a further
discussion would take place ; and in fact, Mr. Hocking
rose to move his resolution, and was entering on the general
subject, when the:chairman interferred, and decided that
this would be again irregular, and thereupon Mr. Hooking
said, if he could not submit his views in full, in justifica-
tion for introducing the question, he would not go into
the resolution at all ; and he accordingly withdrew it.

DISTRICT SEW IBA ItiYEA.
Rates of 6d. in the pound were ordered on the following
districts: Surrey and ißent district; Tower-hill level;
Limehouse level ; Upper Limehouse level ; Wandle dis-
trict; Fulham and Rammenmith district; and Counters

LAW OF DIVORCE.

After a few words from Lord BIIOI7OIIAN on the subject
of the law of divorce, which were not distinctly hard is
the gallery.
Lord CAMPBELL said that he had the pleasure of in-
forming their lordships that the commissioners appointed to
inquire into the law of divorce bad signed a report, which
would no doubt in a few days be presented to the house by
the order of her Majesty. They recommended that their
lordships should not continue to pass acts of parliament is
each individual cue, but that a regular tribunal should be
established, consisting of a Vies-Chancellor, an ecclesiastical
judge, and a common law judge, and that the proceeding
should take place judicially when it came from the husband
for adultery. But, in the extraordinary ease when a Wife
sought for a dissolution of the marriage contract, on the
ground of the husband's immorality or other misconduct, It
must still be a matter of legislation, because it would be
impossible that any code could be framed by which any
court of justice could be regulated in deciding such ratan.
The Law of Evidence (deotland) Bill was then read
second time, and their lordships adjourned.

GERMANY.

A Belgian newspaper publishes three letters from
Vienna purporting to have been written a few hours
after the attempt upon the Emperor's life. We give
the subjoined statements, leaving the responsibility
of them to the Independence Beige.
The attack on the Emperor took place on Friday
between noon and 1 o'clock. His Majesty, who had
been walking on the bastion, had halted for a
moment near the Karinthian gate to observe the
exercises of some soldiers who were below. The
assassin approached the Emperor from behind
with a table knife, and rushing at him, dealt
him • blow between the head and shoal-
dens. Thanks to the hulan uniform which the
Emperor wore and to his mantean, the wound was'
not at all serious. The man who was arrested on the
spot is named Ladishis Libeny. He is 22 years of
age, and a native of Stuklwerseenberg, in Hungary.
He says that ho was formerly the hussar servant of
Count Nicolas Estorhazy. He has been in Vienna
one-and-twenty months, working as a tailor. At the
examination which took place this afternoon, he
stated that he had no accomplices ; that he formed the
design of striking a blow at the Emperor as long ago
as 1850, "in order to let people see what a Hunga-
rian could do for his ?zips, oppressed by gendarmes
and police. For these eight days I have walked up
and down the bastions to catch the Emperor. How-
ever, I did not wish to kill, but only to wound him.
I fear nothing." When led off to prison, he cried
incessantly, "Viva Kossuth." The news did not
reach the Bourse before the hour of closing.
The official Vienna Gazette announced on the 18th
that the long protracted negociations which had been
carried on with several German states, concerning
customs affairs, had been brought to a satisfactory
conclusion, and that the delegates were preparing to
leave Vienna for their respective homes. With still
greater satisfaction, the official writer was able to
announce that the negociatious carried on by Baron
Bruck, at Berlin, had resulted in the conclusion of a
treaty of commerce.
A Vienna letter of the 17th states, that since the
recent events at Milan have re-awakened the Austrian
government to a sense of its danger, it has been
resolved to recall into activity • number of officers
capable of effective service at present on the retired
list. At the same time the plan is again revived of
making Vienna an immense military arsenal, and the
chief point of all military operations.
On Saturday, as the news from Vienna was fresh
in mans' minds, a report was current in Berlin that
the King of Prussia had been attacked. The rumour
had its origin in the arrest at Charlottenburg of a
journeyman tanner, who was found, without:proper
papers, hanging about the approaches of the palace,
as it proved, to present a request to the King. Two
pistols were found on him, neither of which, however,
was loaded, and Investigation showed that he had
never betrayed any political tendencies.

THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Frederick Veissan, a Dutchman, who was some days ago
ar before Sir IL. W. Carden with having gone intoetli:eri
ng's Head Tavern, in Great Tower-street, engaged
a bed, and visited and plundered several of the rooms of
clothes Gad other property with which he wee about to de-
eiunp is the morning when he was detected by the waiter
and beaded over to the ears of the policeman, was brought
up for final examination. The prisoner had been suspected
by the waiter. The prisoner had retired to rest as he said
keg before the hoar of closing the house, and contrived
to make up a valuable bundle, of which a clock formed a
part, with which he expected to escape before any one got
up next day.
A lodging-housekeeper in St. George's in the East, also
appeared to prefer a charge against the prisoner, who went
fair the house for a lodging oa the night of the 12th inst.
sad retired to bed at a little after eleven o'clock. A man
atoned Murray slept in another bed in the same room, and
at six o'clock next morning the prisoner walked off with
the poor man's coat, waistcoat, trousers, boots, and neck-
scarf. When the; prisoner was apprehended he was wear•
inHurray's trousers and neck-scarf.
prisoner, through an interpreter, said he had nothing
tosay, but to beg for mercy. He was than committed for
Wel.
William Akaander was charged with having robbed his
employer, Mr. Mayne, of Savage-gardens, wholesale spice
dealer, of a quantity of nutmegs.
Henry Webb (one of the detective officers) said—Last
Milt, at half-past 7 o'clock, I saw the prisoner in Bast-
gallop, with a bag over his shoulder. He said, in answer
to my inairies, that the bag contained 201 be. weight of
maser sad waste paper, and belonged to his master,
CaLit4r *. spies merchant, and he was going to take them
teMr. is the Borough ; that he had no invoice or
sole of say sad that be was in the habit of carrying
goods to Mr. at that time of night. I told him that
I wee not with his account: of the matter ; and,
01%170 emertained that the goods had not been
used
Dlr. Kedges at all.
Mr. Mayne said the ppeeuuooner had no right to remove the
nutmegs from the warehouse at all.
The prisoner was committed for trial.

The railway market, on the whole, was fiat to-day,
but the decline was partial, and, with the exception
of Caledonian, which receded considerably, the rule-
don in prices was not great. East Lancashire,
Oxford and Worcester, Manchester and Sheffield,
and South-Eastern closed worse, but other stocks
were generally fairly supported, and Great Northern
slightly improved. This department is inactive.
French shares were generally dull, but the late
advance is fairly supported. The Paris Bourse has
been leas buoyant for the last two days, but there is
no change of moment either in Paris or here.
Namur and Liege shares are firmer.

general feehng is, as I have already stated, that the
jury will ignore the bills of indictment, and
that there will thus be an abrupt end put to the pro-
ceedings ; but a rumour which has prevailed to the
,gist that in such an event a nolk prosequi would
be entered in the ems of the priests, Burke and
Clone, seems to be satisfactorily contradicted by the
statement made last evening by Lord Aberdeen in
the Rouse of Lords. The Mail publishes the follow-
ing list of the persons who have been most active in

above all, they do not want the preeemunvite of
each a sovereign as the Emperor of Austria; who,
contrary to many sworn treaties guaranteed almost
by every European power, has broken his pledges,
and destroyed the last remains of liberty
of confident.° and self-administration among
the protestant, of Hungary. That whosoever draws
a parallel between the condition of the Christian
subjects of that Christian Emperor and the condition
of the Christian subjects of the Turkish Sultan, in
the provinces bordering upon Austrian territory, in
Moldavia and Wallachia, will be compelled to de-
cide in favour of the latter. That in Serbia the
Turkish religion is restricted to the fortresses garri-
soned by 'Parks. That in Bosnia the rajahs, having!
revolted and been vanquished, receive in return
equal civil and polkical rights. In Montenegro the
Turkish government has never exercised, and does
not seek to effect, the slightest interference with
say religious 'or administrative matter; as also in
Wallachia, Moldavia, and Serbia; and as to the re-
cognition t.f the independence of Montenegro, the
Porte has but to remind the Emperor of the relations
of Austria to Hungary and Italy."
I give you these news with reserve, though I
have them from good sources ; and every man may
judge them u exact, considering the character of
Mehemet Ali. Public opinion is very anxious to
know what attitude England will take. Lord Strat-
ford will soon return.

CLERGY RESERVES, CANADA.

Sir J. PAKINGTON, pursuant to notice, asked the hon.
gentleman, the Under Secretary for the Colonies, whether
he had any objection to lay upon the table of the house the
following papers A letter recently written by the Lord
Bishop of Quebec to the Duke of Newcastle, on the sub-
ject of the clergy reserves in Canada. 2. The despatch
from Sir John Pakington to the Earl of Elgin, which
would have been sent by the mail of Friday, December
16th, in reply to his lordship's despatch of September 22nd
(forwarding an address to the Queen from the Legislative
Assembly of Canada, on the subject of the clergy reserves),
had not the late government tendered their reugaations to
her Majesty on that day ?
Mr. PEEL said there was some difficulty in regard to
the parr No. 2, which was not a despatch, for it had never
been signed, but was the mere draft of a despatch ; and he
was not aware of any instsnee in which the mere draft of a
despatch had been laid before the house. The hon. gentle-
imam was then understood to assent to the production of the
Letter in question.

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
Sir J. PAK INGTON begged to ask the Under Secre-
tary of State for the Colonies, whether any reports have
been received at the Colonial-office, of the proceedings of
two public meetings held in the colony of the Caps of Good
Hope, on the 22nd day of November, 1852, one at Uiten-
base, and the other at Graham's Town, at which strong ap-
probation was expressed of the policy of the late govern-
ment with respect to the constitution ordinances ; and at
the latter resolutions were unanimously adopted, declaring
the " unalloyed satisfaction " of the meeting at the post-
ponement of the constitution, and passing a vote of thanks
to Sir John Prkiagton for hie despatch of September the
4th, in which he stated the grounds on which her Majesty's
government had decided upon that postponement.
Mr. PEEL said that nothing was known of any meeting
at Uitenhage ; but the chairman of the meeting at Gra-
ham's Town, had forwarded a copy of the proceedings to
General Cathcart.

Sir J. PAHINGTON asked whether the hon. gentleman
Lad heard that the British portion of the population at the
Cape, was likely to be considerably diminuked by emigra-
tion to Australia.
Mr. PEEL—No; we have received no inch information.
