COLONIAL

CEYLON.—The dates from this colony are to the
10th of July. It is stated as • report, in the Colombo Ob-
server, that a circular had been addressed to the heeds of
departments, calling upon them to make every peesible
retrenchment in their expenditure, in anticipation of a de-
ficiency in the revenue. The total iamb into Colombo for
the quarter ending the sth of April,lB47, wire valued at
352,0261., being • &memo, es compared with the value of
the imports in the corresponding quarter of 1846, of 76,4301.
The total value of exports was 195,9651., beteg an inereeee
of 6,9941. The increase in the value of exports we. in
coffee alone. In all other articles there was a decrease.
A dinner was given to Lord Torrington by the serchents of
Colombo ea the 10th of Jane; the sentiments expand by
his lordship on the occasion gave general satisfaction. But
I his lordship appears since to have got into hot water about
" the great Verandah gnostic's." He may he right in the
view he takes of it ; but it was unwise to quarrd with the
inhabitants about so mere • trifle in the outset of hie
" reign ; " and so far to forget the dignity of his polities, as
to treat their recognised representative with a dares of
discourtesy, inconsistent with the amenities of
intercourse.
NEW SOUTH WALES.— The news from this
colony is to the 13th of April. Peremptory orders had been
received to reduce the military force there to a sighs rai-
ment. In future two regiments are to be stationed in Van
Diemsn's Lend, and two in New Zealand. The 68th foot
was to proceed to New Zealand early in May. Orders had
been received to revoke the patent for terming the new
colony of North Australia; 20,0001. had already been ex-
pended an it. The tide of emigration continued to set in
strong from Van Diernen's Land to Sydney and Port Philip.
VAN DIEMEN'S LAND.—The governor had
issued • circular to the magistracy, with • view to esosrtain
their views respecting the continuance of transportation to
the *okay.

ment to cultivate the most friendly feelings with the United
States. This is a mean and paltry advantage taken by
England. It is the intention of our government to retaliate
by the only means possible, before the meeting of congress—
that is, by raising the rates of postage on the mails carried
between Bonin and Montreal. These will now be raised to
the highest standard allowed by the law, and congress at its
next session will be recommended to enact such retaliatory
laws as will compel the British government to abandon its
overcharge on mails carried by our steamers. This affair hes
formed the subject of a correspondence between our minister
at the court of St. James's and Lord Palmerston. It has also
been discussed at an extraordinary meeting of the cabinet
this morning."
CHINESE COLLECTION.—The present proprietors of
this highly interesting assemblage of objects, which was
formed by the late Mr. Dunn, in order to exemplify the pro-
ductions' manufactures, appearance, and other particulari-
ties, of the Celestial Empire, have, with apparently some
wisdom, and certainly very great enterprise, undertaken to
army the vast repertory of Chinese life, arts, and sciences,
which was located for some years at Hyde-park-oorner, into
the provinces of England, in order to afford the inhabitants
of the great provincial cities and towns an opportunity of
examinieg at leisure the very eurious collection, which so
long proved an attraction in this metropolis. In order to
accomplish this novel undertaking Mr. Langdon and his
co-proprietors have had constructal7 carriages,which when
placed in juxtaposition, in the form of a parallelegram,consti-
tate a noble and well-proportioned saloon, 175 feet in length,
50 feet in breadth, and 30 feet high, in which are arranged
in compartments, and in the same general form and manner
as heretofore, all the objects constituting the Chinese mu-
seum already referred to. An enterprise of this magnitude
argues a correspondent spirit, and in justice to the proprie-
term it must be admitted that the exhibition, as shown yes-
terday for the first time,was alike impressive and interesting,
from the grandeur of its arrangiamenta, and their eatire
novelty. A travelling band of musicians, clad dli CAnsoise,
accompanies this stupendous procession of carriages through-
out its provincial progress, and from the good taste and
harmony which appear to preside over the undertaking, the
happiest results may very fairly be predicted; and, indeed,
Mr. Langdon merits the most complete success, from his
endeavour to convey instruction and amusements into the
remoter corners of our sea-girt island.

the concludiag portion of Mr. Nehan's paper entered into
m massisation of the relative tendeney at werions ages to
ow& forms of crime. In the paper read at thu meeting in
AO, the tendency to crime in its aggrepts lins, at TSTKNIS
tame of life, was shown to follow a very rmaritahl• law.
Tom the age of 20 it was shows that the tendency to Moo
to the male ssz decresom at the rate of 33.833 per mat for
soh tars of life recognised in the tables presented ; and in
the female sett the decreasing tendency is at the rate of 23
per cent, but as then anticipated, it will now be found that the
element of age becomes of still more importance in the
ianstigation, when emuidering sped& forma of crime.
The results thus obtained were set forth in a series of tables,
of which the following are striking examples. Comparing
the tendency to crime of different forms at ages 16-21, with
the Wowing term of life, the following moults appear :
In clam 1, of offences ag Jost the pence-
-2 1

Dif: + All7ll or + NAM per rent.
In Class 2, offences against property, with violence--
le-11
21-40 .otale

Thin + .02970 or NM pr rent.
In Class 3, offences against property, without violence :
10..-71 o. MOW
21-30 0 .99109

Dlff : .10•76 or MAN pm mat
In Clam 4, malicious oases, mould proporty :
16-21 = .00126
21-30 .00304

DUI : .00034 or 7.11 per mt.
In Clan 3, forgery end other offenses against the cur-
rency
16-21 = .01204
21-20 - .01114

Did: .00004 or 7.77 per east.
It is, therefor!, obvious, that the tendency to crime at
different ales is not the same in each clam or form of
mime, and that its relative intensity in various
dames at given ages is also diffirent For while in
the latter of the above terms of life there is en increasing
tendency in clam 1 of 20.95 per cent. above that of the pre-
ceding term of life, in all the other closes there is a lase ten-
dency to crime at the superior time of life, varying from
99.01 per cent. in class 2 to 7.77 per cent. in clam b. At
other ages like differences are to be found.
The important* to criminal jurisprudence of a solution of
this problem most be evident. No preventive measures
can be safely adopted till the knowledge exists of the par-
ticular tendencies to certain propensities sad forms of mime
at different ages ; but with this knowledge the chances of
sumer in averting crime must be greater, as the means are
tarnished of knowing in what particular sections of the
people the strongest tendency exists to specific forms of
On redaction, it will now be seen with still greater force
than formerly the neormity which exists for a very refined
analysis being followed in investigations on crime before
drawing any conclusions. The importanceof determining
the Site of crime at the different terms of life has already
been shown, in order to determine the relative amount of
crime in different district., as well as to understand
whether crime be on the increase or decrease. It
