It will be remembered that the original bill, charging this
reurad gentleman with an indecent assault upon a soldier,
was ignored at Clerkenwell, in conseinence of the non-up-
pursue of the prosecutor, who it afterwards transpired was
at the time under confinement for stsconduct. The court
on Meads y last gave permission for the prosecutor to prefer
a fresh bill. as the reverend defendant was anxious to have
the whole matter brought to trial, and the prosecutor now
went Ware the grand jury to give evidence upon the second
indicating. He was under rumination by the grand jury
about twenty minutes. The bill was again ignored.
Mr. Bond, the prosecutor, in the case reported above, ap-
plied to the court to order an attachment to issue against ca
taro witnesses. who committed contempt of court in not an-
swering when called upon their subpoina. After some con-
sideration the court decided that it had no power to grant
the application, and Mr. Baud left the court, vociferously
protesting that he could not get common justice.

COLONIAL.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.—As was intimated in
our yesterday's impression, we have dates hoes Cape
Town to the 10th Dec. Sir H. Smith had presented a militia
bill to the Legislative Council, which was to be read a second
time on the 12th of that month. It was understood that the
governor was determined to press the measure, and, as the
council are to a man crown nominees, holding their apocint-
ments during pleasure, it was certain to pus. The bill was,
however, the reverse of popular, and no wonder. It autho-
rises (by clangs 9) any governor once in four years
to enrol every male in a district between the
ages of 18 and 60 in the militia for the next
four years; and in another clause (the 2Gth) forbids
any colonist enrolled in the militia to remove from
his district unless he can satisfy the resident magistrate
" that such removal is not for the purpose of evading
burgher duty" under a penalty of 101. These and other
provisions of the bill, whit* is as long as the Mutiny Act,
and as verbose as en indictment for high treason, put it in
the power of a governor, unchecked by an elective legis-
lature, to harass the colonists to a fearful extent. Fore-
seeing this, petitions have been forwarded to Sir Harry
praying that the Militia Bill may not be pared by the
present nominee council, nor any steps taken in the matter
until a representative constitution has been conferred on the
colony.
The protests against the importation of convicts into the
colony increase in number. One solitary individual has
raised his voice in favour of Slndin convicts to the Cape,
and be will hear only of one class. He prays that the parties
convicted in Ireland of being implicated in the Smith
O'Brien rebellion may be sent there.
The new road called Michell's Pass, in honour of the late
Surveyor-General, through Mostert's Meek, was opened by
the Governor with great solemnity on the 30th of November.
There were no soldiers in the district, but a depot of 250
convicts being in the neighbourhood, Sir Harry reviewed
them instead. Twelve of them received pardons in honour
of the occasion.

We have received the journals and our corre-

presented on that day to the Cortes a project of ar-
rangement of the Bank of St. Ferdinand, which was
to have been published in the Casette of the following
day.
The journal de Toulouse gives the following from
the frontiers of the Pyrenees-Orientales, dated the
19th inst.: "Yesterday, a column of the Queen's
troops,el,3oo strong, fell in, near Lahajol, behind Bel-
legnrde, with a body of 250 republicans, commanded
by Victorian Ametler, created a brigadier, and a
warm action ensued. The republicans lost a great
many meo, and were obliged to fly for refuge to Las
Ilion, on the French territory, whither they were pur-
sued by the royal troops, and the battle was resumed,
in spite of the intervention of themayor and a French
detachment of twenty-five men. Many of the repub-
licans were killed at the gates of the mairie, and
eighteen were captured. Among these were Yictori-
ano Ametler, Coll Joze, Don Juan Gonzales, a com-
mandant ; Perez, a commandant, and two captains?

MADRID, Sen. 16.
The Gazette publishes a decree, the purport d
which I have aiready mentioned to you. It enacts
that two-thirds of the vacant situations shall be gins
officiAs on hilt ply, for the sake of economy, sad
the remaining third is to be distributed among
officials who have been laid aside before serving the
time necessary to be entitled to a retiring pennon,
officials whose merits entitle them to promot•oe, sod
individuals who aspire to government employments.
Tnis measure will give General Narvaiz the means of
carrying out his favourite scheme, viz , of making
placemen of those of the progressista pirty whose cur
sciences are e qtly elastic to serve under his govern-
ment, and who have the advantage of being conversut
mi. 11 public affairs from havingset ved in difficult times.
1 By that means the old general, who, though violent
enough in temper, is by no means wanting iectn
ning, will keep those of his own parts, in stricter kr
cipline, the prospect of seeing the ministerial loaves
and fishes given to others being likely to pat them
upor. their good behaviour.

The next great step of this government, to winch

brought this question into prominence at the present
moment is the sppearance of an article is a litho-

to hlanteuffel's own closet. If the argumenfs sd•
duped in thin notable "feeler" are such as to mole

destinies of this country are entrusted, they an

' such an oligarchic superstructure. The opPortd2
tor bringing this question before the chambers,
be given by the revision of the 63d article of the

tion of the first chamber. To this article duce is an

We have received the journals and correspondence

Chamber on the 10th, M. Mon, the Mibiater
of Finance, said, will reference to the ru-
moured change in the tariff, " Without now &i-

delicate a question, I will state that not one of the
manufacturing interests of the Spanish people will
suffer by the reforms that the government wish to
make ; on the contrary, the government will protect
with care all existing and acquired interests, and
will not settle any situation without the concurrence
of the legislative body."

is considerable. The Californians do not Elan materially

AUSTRALASIA.

We have received, via Singapore, intelligence from
Adelaide to the 20th of October ; Sydney, Oct. 6 ; Port
Philip, the beginning of Oct. ; and Van Diemen's Land, the
end of Sept. From New Zealand also news has been re-
ceived, dated Auckland, the beginning of September.
From Sydney we hear of the death of Mr. J. P. Robinson,
late member for Melbourne. The Bum-Burrs " revolu-
tion" formed the all-engrossing topic of conversation and
newspaper discussion, and appears to demand investigation.
The affairs of the colony have received a sudden check,
arising out of the proceedings. On September 16, an
express arrived in Adelaide, with intelligence that the miners,
in number 300, feeling themselves aggrieved had rebelled
against the authority of the company, and would not allow
a ton of ore to be removed from the mines. A mi._
understanding had also arisen between the superintendent
and the directors, which ended in the abrupt dismissal of the
hninsr, and made matters much worse. A large police
fora was despatched, and order was restored ; but the
' miner still refused to allow operations to go on, and were
in posasauon of the works. A meeting of workmen was
held, when, all fraternishur, they positively refused to labour
except on more favourable than the lately reduced rates
given by the company. The garters and others connected with
the mining works at Burrs Burrs had also struck, and the
mines were completely at a stand. The local journals sym-
pathise with the "pinched" miners, mine labourers,
carters, and affirm that the grand scheme has comment
premature decline, the shares having fallen in value a_
than 20 per cent. All further dividends have been sus-
pended. The miners are seeking employment, and the di-
rectors advertise in vain for work-people. Thus this gigan-
ti- property is fast going to ruin. A meeting of the directors
and shareholders was fixed for October 20, when it was pro-
bable that terms would be offered, but whether they would
be accepted was doubtful.

The Contemporaneo of Rome, of the 9th instant,

composed of twenty-tour members, among whom we
may notice Bonaparte, Caraffa, and Brunetti (Cicer-
nacchio). The electoral committee immediately pub-
lished a circular enjoining the citizens to elect men of
well-known and unflinching liberal opinions. A
catechism for the instruction of the people was to be
published immediately.
The Costituente Italian of Florence.quotes a letter
from Rome, of the 10th inst., announcing the publi-
cation of the law for the abolition of the tax called

SPAIN.

We have received the journals and correspondence
to the 6thrinst. inclusive. Our correspondent writes:
MADRID, MARCH 6.
After a dull and uninteresting debate on the Clergy
Dotation Bill, the deputy Sanchez Silva questioned
the government with respect to the line of conduct
intended to be followed in the affairs of Rome. The
Minister of Foreign Affairs replied that the govern-
ment would take under consideration whether it be
expedient or not to answer the question, on account
of the gravity of the subject.
The question of Spanish intervention has under-
gate another modification, and has taken another
=now that it is determined that the Baron de
and not General Marvin) will be at the head
of the modifies, and that the intervening force will
consist of 5,000, and sot 10,000 men. The Herald°
announces that His Holiness has sent the Grand
Creme of the Order of Pion IX. to General Names,
and to Pidal, the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The civil war goes on increasing in importance. A
eabecilla, named Bermudez, has appeared again in the
Toledo Mountains, at about 16 leagues from Madrid,
at the head of a small band. Another centralists
bend has appeared in Bailee, the spot which the
defeat of Dapont's army by Codeine, during the war
of indeundence, has rendered celebrated. In Cata-
lonia, tie ()alias keep Solemn closely blockaded.
There is a rumour in -Madrid that General Concha
has been repalad. Preen the news received from day
to day from the provinces, there is every reason to
suppose that the eastneg spring will be fertile in poli-
dal events. The death of the Berea de Abells, shot
by order of Cabrera, for having written a pszaßhlet
modest the Cecilia came, ham excited a palatal
feeling in Madrid. It is severely commented on
by almost every one of oar public prints. A
political mission in the Progresista minority in the
Chamber of Deputies takes a considerable share
of public attention. The Herald° of to-day inserts a
letter written fine' Madrid to the Nacional, a news-
paper published in Cadiz, asserting that a confidential
' meeting of some members of the Progrenita party
had taken plat" and in which several prepares'se
were read, bat that nothing definitive had been re-
, calved upon. I will inform yen as soon as anything
positive takes place.

ment, represenung the landed interest of Ireland, had an
interview with the Chancellor of the Excheqmer, for the
purpose of minas elm the government to introduce a ma-

LUNATIC ASYLUM FOB FOUR COUNTIEB.—A meet-
ing et the several committees of the magistrates of the counties
of Glamorgan, Pembroke, Cardigan, and Carmarthen, wee
held at the Town-hall, Swarms, on the 24th ult., when the
report of the sub-oommittee appointed to treat with the Bart
of Jersey on the subject of a site for the establishment, came
under concideration. The result of the deliberation of the
united committees is that the terms will prove satisfactory.
Danygraig. near Swansea, is therefore the spot flied urea.
The asylum is to be made capable of °embalming three hun-
dred patients, with arrangements for extension should it at
some future period be required.

The Attorney-General will perhaps be called on to
exercise hie talents again as a crown prosecutor, in
case that a few more speeches be made against the
rate in aid in the style of Lord Massareene's. He
dared the government to collect the rate, and said
that thrice My thousand soldiers would not do it, and
quoted CO. of Moore's most martial songs. This
speech was delivered at the court-house of Ballymena,
end addreseed to the ratepayers of Antrim.
In the south of Ireland the agitation has appeared
in a mild form, and does not seem very infections

there. The guardians of Mid!etre and Macroom hive
petitioned against it. The Cork guardians have
affirmed the neoserity of a rate in aid, bat have ea-
preened their °plaices that the rate should spread
over the United Kingdom.
The rumour still prevails that we are to have a
Vice•Chiuscollor him, and some try that the China&
'reship will be aboithed, and co altreat jurisdistios
given to the English Chancellor as a means of
Waling parties in England to lend mossy on Irish
securities. I,t sense probable that some change will
be made in our Mph Equity Courts. Lord Cheacelkr
Brady has not furnished his list yet. He ban still
thirty cures to hear, which will take him the next
there weeks to get through.
The Right Hoc. Maurice Fitzgerald, better known
as " The Knight of Kerry," is no more. He died at
his sat at Valenti* in his 78th year. The knight
was& pegs in Dublin Cute, to the Duchess of Rut-
land, in 1785, In company with another young gentle-
man, Master Arthur Wesley—now known as the
Doke of Wellingtons. As may be seen la the " Cas-
tlereagh Corre•pondenos," the knight was intimately
in the confidence of the Irish government
at the period of the union. He canvassed
the county of luny upon union principles
and one of his chief and most influential
supporters was Mr. John O'Connell, of Orens, brother
of the Agitator, and father of Mr. M. J. O'Connell,
now M.P. for Kerry. Throughout his life the knight
we. a liberal tory in his politics, and lost the repre-
sentation of Kerry in consequence of his anti-reform
politics; for though he had few religions prejudices,
he had many social can. He bad great knowledge
of Ireland, and was more intimately conversant
with the secret history of Ireland since the
union than an one now living. He was a
debater of considerable ability, ready and fluent, and
was in his manners a polished Irish gentleman of 6,4
old school, of which Bowes Daly was the brightest
model, and of which Chief-Justice Doherty is one of
the few living ropeaentatives. The Knight of
Kerry was as Irish courtier, and had some of the
faults and all the graces of that school. He was for
the grecter part of his life e most prominent the-
titter in Irish politics, and his services to catholic
emancipation ought not to have been forgotten.

PANORAMA OF SWITZRRLAND—A ROOM= of
Switzerland is a bold subject to attempt, but encase has
attended Mr. Burford in its production. The Rigbi in oar-
tainly the !spot where most of Switzerland can be seen by
looking round on a fine summer morning. There is not a
Swiss traveller who has not some drowsy reminiscence of
being awakened by an outlandish horn at an undue hour in
the morning, and going out to see the sun rise upon Swit-
zerland from the Righi. Many are Mu disappointments of
the who can only afford ono day at the Kialm, and who
am obliged to content themselves with a peep at the
thick mists with which they are surrounded, instead of
enjoying the sublime views that a clearer atmosphere would
disclose. None of these disappointments can occur at Bur-
ford's panorama ; the eye roams as unimpeded to the distant
Hoch Seutia on one side as to the fertile plains of Arpin,
where the Reuss is seen flawing towards the Rhine, which it
enters,we believe, not at Coblens, as en ingenious geographer
would have persuaded ua it did. The finest portion of the
painting is that which stretches from the mountain slip of
Lake Lowers and the Hoch Semis to the sharp peaks of
Pilate and Keel. The rugged vale which leads up from
Alter( to the pass of the Saint Gmhard may be traced to
the summit of tt at mountain, to the right of which are the
perpetual mows of the Faulhoni, Sehreckhorn, Wetterhorn,
Eiger and Yungfrau. The freshness of the ground where
the berg-fall took place some years since Is well rendered,
and the white dotted chalets at its base give an idea of the
terrific grandeur such a sudden irruption must have had.
' One turns with pleasure from it to contemplate the beautiful
cantons of Lucerne, Soleure, Argau and Bale, with their
green pastures covered with trees and cottages, so lately the
Beene of a religious war, in which the bigoted prejudices of
• priest-ridden population have sow yielded to more liberal
'Uwe. Such contemplations aa these forcibly occupy the
mind when we think of the reality. Honour, then, to Mr.
Burford, who eau disengage us, if it is only fur a moment,
from the busy bum of town, and make us fancy that we
breathe the air of the Alps and that we see around no, in
sU its reality, the varied 'surface of such • land as Swit-
zerluid.

The carrying away of crops still continues in vari-
ous parts of the country. Nearly all the provincial
journals have paragraphs recording mere cases. The
land question, in all its forms, engages the attention of
the public mind.
Rents are coming down in all directions. The fall
of rents will facilitate the working of the Encumbered
Estates Commission, bat the question remains un-
answered," Who'll boy the estates ?"
We have had threatening. already of a very severe
winter. There was snow yesterday on the Dublin
Mountains, and the tempers:ors occasionally was ex-
tremely severe.
It was rumoured about the city here, ymptee,
that Mr. Butt's address to the electors of Cork wadi
have appeared last night. Colonel Chattertos, who
contested Cork on tory principles three times since
1834, has announced his intend= of standing. It is
said that a Professor Walsh has been promised the
support of some leading commercial firms, who
desire to have a member intimatsly scquainted with
Cork, placed in the legislature. Mr. Alexander
hi•Carthy resides in Dublin, and some of the
Corkonians do not approve of non-resident members.
Dr. Kirwan, the President of Queen's College,
Galway, is seriously ill. It is rumoured that he has
had a paralytic stroke of a very alarming kind.

SARDINIA.—In the sitting of the Chamber of
Deputies of Tufa, on the 30th ult., the minir er of
finance was althceised to create 600,000'r. of rental,
in addition to the two millions and a half created on

the 16th of Jane.

LOMBARDY.--Th• Milan Gazette publishes a
notification by Count Monteouccoli, dated Milan, 23th
ult., announcing that the convention concluded be-
tween Austria and Piedmont on the 4th of Dec.,1834,
and ratified on the 16th of March, 1835, for the re-
pression of smuggling on the waters of the Lago
Maggiore, the Po, and the Tieing shall commence
to be again enforced Iron the Ist of October, 1849,
on the condition expressed by Art. 24 of the said
envention, namely, that it shalt be understood to
continue for successive periods of two years, until
either of the governments shall give three months'
notice of its mention. The masters of laden boats
entering the waters of the Po and the Ticino ere
therefore directed to declare their cargoes to the first
enstorn-hone on their way, on pain of being treated
es smugglers.
VENlCE.—General Clankowski, evil and military
governor of Venice, ham issued a notification, dated
the 26th ult., directing that the jurisdiction of the
Tribunal of Appeal and that of the Cri-
minal Tribune of Venice, shall. from the let of Oc-
tober, extend over all the Venetian provinces, as was
the ease before March. 1848. The sections of appeal
of Verona, Padua, and Theis*, as also the criminal
jurisdiction provisionally attributed to the tribunals
of Udine, Treviso, and Roy* are Meuse on the3oth
of September. By another notification of the 25th,
any resistance offered to the revenue officers shall be
judged and punished by martial law.
ROMAN STATES.—The Rafoftea of Lucca states
from Rue, 26th nit., that MM. Mercier and Galli
had retu-ned to Rome. The latter has not been able
to obtain from the Pope the authorisation to well the
ecclesiastical lands already mortgaged by the Pope.
The deft.it was stated at 3 000,000 fr. per month ;
moreover, the non•payment of the interest of the debt
and of the treasery bills become doe, is not likely to
impi.e capitalists with coafidence for the conclusion
of a loan.

numerous aliases, were placed at the bar for final examine-
tics, charged with having stolen large quantities of plata and
otli.r valuable property from diff rent dwelling-houses, to
which the female primmer had obtained acetic in the charms

MARLSOR6IIGH-STREET.

EITILNISITZ PILAU—Di:Z/1 if liicUas, p (stars dealer,
wu brought up for hull eaamin►tion, charged with a series
of frauds on picture dealers, and also with having unlawfully
obtained and disposed of 31 pictures, some of considerable
value, the property of Allred Butington, picture dealer, 48,
Graysnor•st»et. _ .

In the fiat instance the prisoner and his brother Edward
were charged jointly with the frauds, but after the first exiv
miaation the prisoner Edward was discharged.
The first chugs was for fraudulently obtaining 31 pictures.
The second ease was for obtaining a valuable picture from
Mr. Save, picture dealer, No. 1, Titchbourne-street It
sopeared that Edward Bartington brought a letter from his
brother John, relative to a picture which witness had to dis-
pose of. The picture was eventually entrusted to the prim-
mer for sale, and shortly afterwards it was pledged by the
prisoner's order.
The third case was for obtaining fraudulently a painting
from Mr. °airing, picture-dealer, 40, Wardour-sartht.
From the evidence it appeared that in January last the pri-
soner obtained a cabinet picture value 131. from him under
pretence that he had found a customer for it, and would be
prepared to pay the money on the following day. This pie.
tura was afterwards found in the hands of a pawnbroker.
The fourth case was for obtaining by false representations I
a picture by thdasborongh from Mr. Cleo, furniture broker,
Cleveland-etreet. Witness had known the prisoner for some
time, and having a gond opinion of him he had let him take
away the painting. Witness afterwards found it had been
Pisard-
A wheelwright named Knight, in Castle-mews, Oxford-
street, proved that a van with pictures was brought into the
mews, and the pictures were placed in an apartment in the
mews The prisoner came to the mews and removed pictures
several tines.

A greet army pawnbrokers came forward and produced
Octane pledged by order of the prisoner. The pictures pro-
duce.' by the blbwing pawnbrokers, Mr. Richards, Mr.
Young, Mr. Attenbornugh, Mr. Harrison, Mr. Bayer, and
Mr. Clark, were identdied by their respective owners as
h►ving been pawned without their authority.
After a vast quantity of evidence, spreading over three
separate examinations, had been gone through, Mr. Bingham
4 clued upon convicting the prisoner en three ewe,
leg a flue of SL, in addition te value of the property, in
each case, or two months' impriseament, asking in all six
months' imprisonment.

It is ascertained that the democrats will bars a

Mr. Robert Walsh. the United State.' eansul, at Paris,
is to be impended, because his sentiments are not in
harmony with General Taylor and his cabinet.
It is stated that three months ago an intelligent
Kent of the American goverament was on his way to
Hungary, with instructions from the president of the
United States to recognise the government in the
event of one being established, and to welcome her
first Into the family of nations.
Intelligence bad been awe Aced from Montreal, dated
Sept. 19th, of a bloody rencontre between the
tory and reform party in Bytown. The re-
formers called a public meeting on the 15th, for the
purpose of sending a congratulatory address to Lord
Elgin. The tortes atterded in full force, and
finally succeeded in completely breaking it up, and
fuming the President to vacate the chair. Bali
parties were armed, and in the course of the fight
seven or eight persons were severely wounded, two
of them so badly that they are not expected to
survive. The tortes having taken possession of the
room, passed a resolution condemning Lord Elgin
and the ministry, which gave a renewed impetus to
the disturbance. Tne military were eaPed out, and,
after considerable difficulty, succeeded in restoring
order. .

The Courur and Inquirer, which paper gives the
foregoing from Canada, under date of Wednes-
day night, 20th September, states that the important
news from Washington relative to the rupture
with France, had considerable effect upon the
stock market. On the 19th, when the announcement
of the dismissal of the French Minister was first pro-
mulgated United States Eecurities fell off from 1 to 11
per cent. On the 20th, government securities were a
little firmer, bet the panic amongst the weak holders
and the speculators was so great that
large amounts of every description of stocks were
pressed on the market, and sales effected were to
threefold the extent of the daily business lately trans-
acted. The Fancies fell off again.
The Empire City arrived at New York on Thursday,
the 20th of Sept., from Chagrts. Advicea op to the
Bth ult. bad b en received from Havana, up to which
date all was tranquil.
There had been a tremendous gale in the Gulf of

Immediately before going to press we have received

tain nothing of sufficient importance to justify delaying
