EARL GREY MEMBER FOR MELBOURNE.
We have received papers from Sydney to the 31st,
end from the Port Philip district to the 19th of August.
The elections for members to the legislative oouncil at Syd-
ney had led to a very curious result. The separation
question has been one which has excited great dif-
ferences of opinion in Port Philip. The separatist
party had put every spring in motion to bring on a manila•
tmion of opinion on that point at the election. The result
web, that in order to stultify the election from Port
Philip to the legislative council at Sydney, no less
a person than Earl Grey wee elected as member for
Melbourne. Protests were signed by several electors,
and the result has been new writs for fresh elections
in the district of Port Philip, Geelong, instead of Melbourne,
being appointed the polling place for the Melb &Arne dis-
trict. The intelligence of Geelong having been declared a
free port had excited great joy there. The barque Tues.
swim went on shore on the coast between Port Philip and
Cape Otway ; she wee bound for the Mauritius. Alter
having been lightened, by the throwing over of much of her
caw, she was got off.
Accounts from South Australia, without date, published
in the Port Philip papers, announce the arrival of the new
lieut governor, Sir H. E. F. Young.
The South Australia& Register, of the 2nd of Auvet,
says : " We have the pleasure to greet the arrival of a large
batch of German emigrants by the Bremen ship Leontine.
The total number of emigrants is 262, of whom 28 are cabin
mieseeprs, and several of them capitalists, who intend to
purchase land. Only one adult and two or three newly-born
children died on the passage."
The Maitland Mercury, under date Jul, 14, thus notices
some reported additional news relative to Dr. Leichhardt
We have been favoured with the sight of a letter from s
gentleman in New England, dated 11th June, which states
that a Mr. M., whose station is on the Bandana River, had
informed the writer that ' Dr. Leiehhardt had returned
three hundred miles to the furthest station, to say that he
had found a munificent country, with beautiful grass and
water; that Dr. Leichhardt thought he might possibly
u return, or else not for oolong a tires, that it would be a
pity such a country should remain unknown ; th►t his party
were all well, and that he had returned to them,' "

LONDON SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION OF
Yocum Feisoxis.—Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the
friends and subscribers to the above institution was held at
the Asylum at Tottenham, Mr. eistbury in the chair. —The
report stated that daring the put year 25 houses of an ins-
proper descriptive had been wholly closed, in addition to
221, by the sesicy's agency, in London dazing the last 12
years. Seems! yams females had also been rescued from
the hands of toted procurers and procurers*. One case the
society reornily prosecuted, attar many months of laborious
assiduity and meth expense, and auseseded in a conviction
against G. Joseph Murray, ;rho was the keeper of not is..
than 60 improper houses in Lmdea. The.. houses ware
from high localities foes baser in Curzowetrcet, May-fair),
and descending in the scale of respectability to streets
Bishopegate, Melba*. Snead, Southwark, &c. These
houses Murray let out at 11. per day, leaving them to de.
rive their emolument from all receipts above that
nun. The society saluted three of the most noto-
rioue houses, and, at the hat Middlesex Hendon, Murray
was seatenced en ass iedistment to six months' imprison-
ment and bard labour I. the Bowe of Correction, and pay
a flue of 1001. to the Quests ; on the mooed a further term
of three months' imprisonment ad a fine of 501. • and on the
third, to enter into bis reargaiesaos of 1001. and two sureties
of 401., to come up for judgment when celled for if the hones
in Curzon-street was not aced. Sines that period the
society has preferred another indignant against him, for
hoopla's a home in the City ; se that the whole selfsame, by
which Murray has amend • large fortune, will ultimately
be put down. Prosecutions against other individuals are
also pending. During the past year there have been received
into the asylum RE females, the eldest not exceedin4 fifteen
years, of whom 12 were restored to friends, 9 sent to service,
and 1 &seined for bad conduct, leaving 66 of the &nada.
tion ; making a total of 426 who have been received. Many
peculiar and interesting cues of applications are daily refined
admission, in consequence of the present low state of the
bads.
