AGSM:TUT BY Poucaatari.7-6;1;c7,.208 D, sad Cutting.
33 D, attended by direction of the police comantimionen, to
whoa a complaint had been formally made by an aged
couple, named James and Catherine Dwyer, residing in
No. 12, Orchard-place, Portman-square, of those officers
having committed a violent assault upon them.
On the 26th ult. (Bexirrg.day) Orchard-place was in a
state of cemptete uproariousness, the majority of the inhabit
ants being Irish labourers ; and Mr. Inspector Hughes sent
twelve additional constables to that locality, to preserve the
peace as wall u the heads of her Majesty's liege subjects. It
appeared that a eon of the complainant, and Michael Clovis,
were exceedingly riotous when the weldable. interfered, and
desired them to go home. They waisted the Miter% who
followed them down to a kitchen in which Dwyer's hither
and mother lived. An inditerbninate onslaught then tack
phew, in which old Dwyer got his head cracked, and his
wile had has arm broken.
Mr. Long said that this was one of a great number of un-
happy eases, when the magistrate was obliged to decide
upon rather uneathfectory evidence. On the greater portion
at that evidence he placed bat little reliance I but that the
elder Dwyer's bead had been severely cat, and that his wife's
arm had been brlcen, wee self-evident. The assault was
one of a most seriousnature, and especially that committed on
the old woman. The constables had overstepped their duty,
undoubtedly, to a very great extent, and he should fine them
in the sum of 401. each, or fourteen days' iisprisolunsat.—
The Ans was fausadiatily paid.

having hems tidied, a gentleman, who, It 'plectra, has been
paying his addresses Cathe young lady, cheep d the prisoner
with having stolen it, sod demanded the keys of his box.
Ages' neigh opposition on the part of the prisoner, the box
was opened Mealy, and the letter sealed, as when it wee
posted, was discovered. The prisoner was given into cus-
tody and lodged in the police station at Wandsworth,
when •he was esuebtd, and seven 101. notes
were takes from hinebealdee 41. 10s. I. cub,
sad a proskses7 sots for MU, which wee alleged to bear
the "is-nature of the young lady. When the charge eugen-
ics the letter was brought forward there appeared to be no
dispealtion ea Ss part of the promentiag parties to invited.
gate the second matter relative to the promissory note, but
the sitting 'magistrate (Mr. Poynter) eonsidixed that tile
'barge of steeling the letter was sufficient to warrant •
nand.
Shortly after the prisoner had been remanded, Mr. Gilliam,
a solicitor, arrived at the court, having been instructed to
defend him. Tae chief points in the evidenos were then re-
stated by the magistrate, and Mr. Gillham urged that the
mere fact of detaining a letter whit* had not been opened,
and was not alleged to contain mosey or valuable security,
did not snout to a criminal act, and it had not been pre-
tended that the money found in his posession had lren un-
lawfully obtained. If he might be permitted to state as
much, he would 'lpotesi that it was jealousy that bad caused
the prisoner to gat pennies of the letter, and he hoped that
under the ciressimasem his honour would accept bail for his
appearance ; this was, however, refused.

Her dates are, Gibraltar, 13th Match; Cadiz,

. Iberia brings the followiog passengers: Mows.

soldiers, discharged from the regiments stationed at
Gibraltar.

When the Iberia left Lisbon profound tranquillity
signed there; but a military revolution was appre-

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

We have received Cape journals to Jan. 12 Mein-
' siva. The Cape Tom Nail of that elite has the Jot-
' lowing summary of the anti-convict movements :
At the ordinary meet
cosamuing of on on Tuy
last (Jan. 8) several nleationsthe fromalsociati the country wereesda
reed. The letter of most interest was one from Mr. H. J.
Merkel, of Botteatet's Holland, entering into explanations
of his eoedast, expressing hie regret at what bad takes
plasm, and declaring that he could no longer enders t'
publis
eectempt." A similar letter was read tram Mr. Lasbteher
also; but the association could take no notice of as they
were totally unacquainted with the circumstances men.
honed, and had not previously had Mr. Laubscher's
name berm duos. as May had done nothing to put Mr.
Laubsolter in hie resent position, they felt that they
could do nothing to get him out. Mr. L. himself seems
to have excited the euspielons of his neighbours, and it
is he alone, by resevisg these saspleloas, that can marl.
eata himself from the Meddw la which he has bosoms es.
tangled. A vote of thanks was unanimously passed to Capt.
Toby, of the Frederick Huth, for having, when he heard of
the feeling of the colonists, refused to take charge of the film
military convicts at Hens Kong destined for this place—and
to Mr. Billingsley, also, for having communicated such in-
tilligetios to Capt Toby a. led hies I. adopt this step. Capt.
Toby is undsustood to have explained the feeling' and cir-
minsstaaess elute odoeista to the captains of V.is merchant
vessels *ea at Haag Hoag. who would probably also decline
to bring these miaviste ; sad the expectation was that they
would be sent by H.M.S. Apollo, which was then expected
at Hong Koog with troops, and which would touch here
on her way home. The Frederick Huth left
Kong on the 18th October ; and it appears, ilherehtsc ittl
at the time no instructions had been melded by the
goventor from Had Grey, to show that he had abandoned
this part of his when,. If Earl Grey is sincere in what be
says, there would be still time for the arrival of such in-
structions previous to the departure of the Apollo. It wee
stated, before the meeting broke up, that about 2001. would
be required to enable one of the contractors to meet the
penalty for breaking Ms contract; and that it was desirable
that a g tee should be signed, to indemnify the treasurer
in making such advance, in we the sums still to be received
on account of the lodemnily Fund should not cover it. A
tee of that kind was accordingly drawn out, and
banded round the room, and in a few minutes the sum sub-
scribed amounted to upwiuds of 3001.

HUNGARIAN REFUGEES.

—..----.—.
Mr. OSBORNE wished to ask the Secretary for Partite' n
Affairs, whether the government of this country, or our
ambassador at Constantinople, were parties, by advice or
otherwise, to the conduct of the Tarkieh government in con-
demning Koesuth, and the other Hungarian refugees in
Turkey, to banishment and confinement in the interior of
Asia Minor t And if not, whether they had made any re-
monstrance on the subject ?
Lord PALMERSTON said her Majesty's government had
been parties to that transaction so far Si this, that they had
through their ambassador at Constantinople recommended
to the Ports to make the detention of %bees persons--if the
Porte considered twit bound by its engagements with Aus-
tria to detain them—u short al wu consistent
with these engagements, and to render the re•
sidentie of these persona so detained in Asia Minor, as
little irksome and inconvenient as it possibly could. (Hear,
hear.) He had no difficulty:in saying that his own opinion
was that it would be desirable—if the Porte felt itself at
lib.rty so to act—not to detain them at all. (Hear, hear.)

BRAZILS.

Advice* from Pernambuco of the 9th of August
mention an occurrence in that city which has led to
the withdrawal of the Frenob consul. The particulars
ars described in a private letter as follows:—" It
seems from what is stated that the French consul was
deponlario for the effects of a deceased Frenchman
who had a Brazilian clerk, who now affirms that he
never was paid his salary, and claims it of the estate.
But the consul refused to pay him. He therefore
obtained an order from a judge to take the consul up.
Acting upon this order a party of soldiers proceeded
xesterday to the consulate, and attempted to make the
arrest, bat the consul resisted, and protested against
the violation of his consulate. An alarm being given,
a number of Frenchmen hastened to the spot
and stood to defend him; and, on his at-
tempting to hoist hie deg, the soldiers
would not allow him to do so, and in
the straggle his hand was slightly wounded with
a bayonet. Being overcome, he was going off,
when B— met him, and, stopping these pronedings,
asoompealed him to the President. The latter ex-
his ragout, premised inquiry, and sent for the
judge who bad sited with sun issuance. But this
morning the whole el the Fresshmen ammembisd, and
insisted on the witenffe receiving Instant satisfaction.
He therefore wren le the presifin &silts; the out-
rage, and densead re dienheld of the judge, an
apology to hinsel4 the pabilestlea at the particulars,
and a mann et II toe hr Ith lag, which had been

LABUAN.

From the above colony amounts have been re-
ceived to January 17. The utmost confusion would
appear to prevail in the Labuan councils. The
lieutenant-governor has been suspended by Sir James
Brooke. Mr. Napier is now made the seape-goat on
whose shoulders the whole of the Labium inns will
be placed, sacrificed, indeed, on the altar of
Governor Brooke's neglect. Seven charges have
been raked up against Mr. Napier by his friend
and patron; alleging that the lieutenant-governor was
carrying on trade in partnership with his late clerk,
Mr. Meldrum; that he tampered with the spirit farm;
and that he allowed Mr. Meldrum to carry to his
private residence the colonial cash-book. Mr. Sur-
veyor-General Scott has been selected for lieutenant-
governor,_ pending a reference to the home govern-
ment. Up to the above date Mr. Napier's reply to
the charges had not been received ; but, when com-
pleted, it was believed Sir James Brooke would leave
for Singapore and Penang, and await instructions
from the Colonial.offiee. The stulpended high fune-
tionar"y-
has applied for leave of absence to visit Sin-
gaff
Th• colonial land sale took place on Dec. Slit, and
the allolments are reported to have acid at a fair rate;
but who the purchasers, and whether the sums for
which they were disposed of will be paid, remains
yet to be seen. The last accounts represent the colony
as healthy. The coaling operations of the Esatern
Archipelago Company had been resumed.

HlH,—Having heard with great pleasure the deei-
slot pranou ted in *hie cam by the Muter of the Rolls
(Lord Langdale), as the oracle of the Judicial Committee
of the Privy Council, I 11111 sure that I only exprese the
sentiments of thousands and tens of thousands of my fellow-
labourers in the vineyard es well as my own, when I say
that on Friday, the Bth day of Karch, there honed forth a
document from Whitehall which will prove to be the har-
binger of peace, and will tolerate liberality of opinion ;
and as a great battle has been fought, and successfully won,
I would say to those who are true and attached friends to
our venerable church—throw younelves around your glo-
rious champion, who has fought the battle of peace and
liberality—rally around his throne, and present this good
and efficient minister of the Gospel with some substantial,
some lasting proof of your gratitude and esteem. Bearing
in mind that your mottoes should be, as the Bey. Mr.
Gorharn's has been—not nominally, but virtually—
" Nos sibi, sod patriot."
I have the honour to be. Sir, your humble servant,

A protest was read in the parish church of Cnbington, near
Leamington, on Sunday afternoon last, by the Rev. J. Lin-
oohs Galion, curate—the vicar, the Rev. George Leigh
Cooke, 8.D., rural dean, Professor of Natural Philosophy in
the University of Oxford, having previously signified his
entire concurrence with al the terms of the protest, which,
after referring to the judgment, in which it says : " The
Privy Council have ventured to deprave the meaning of the
liturgical services in the book of Common Prayer, by in-
sinuations that the language of the church, in her edema
address to Almighty God, is lees guarded than her authorised
dogmatic statements elsewhere delivered ;" and asserting
that it " is equally subversive of sound morality as of scrip-
ture theology that any council of the sovereign should pro-
ceed to adjudicate in a case which, by their own confession,
as well en by the canons of the church, is declared to be out
of their jurisdiction ;" concludes thus " I do solemnly

and heretical; and I do farther declare that I will do all

No*, it Utah, land and money should never be
separated/ The po.essor of the first, to do his
duty by it, ihould have store of the latter, snd be
educated to make as good use of the one as
of the ether. Bat the entire of our laws
and habits go to divorce them. By means of mort-
gages, not for improvement but
i expenditure, of set-
tlements and entails, the surplus produce of e land,
the natural source of its mprovement, is abstracted
from it. And the soil of England is monopolised for'
the support of its idleness and beggary, high born
and low bens, instead of being the plantation of in-
dustry at nursery of virtue.
We have said before that the aristocracy of this
Country can never bane itself solely on landed posses-
sions. If it persist in so doing, it will be cast aside
and trodden down. It mast learn to comprise and
amalgamate with it that great source of modern
aristocracy, monied weskit, and must teach its sons
how to treat and to use the one or the other. And
here let as notice an error of the Spectator, which
attributes expensive, and extravagant, and showy
habits to the taste of the middle claws and to their
philosophy of respectability. This is a great mistake.
The showy habits, the pride in expenditure, the vanity
of vice were unknown either in Venice or in Holland.
They ere habits and tendencies of a landed arlitecracy,
aped and caught up and rendered ridieulowe by the
du beneath them, which are offered such examples
to admire, and which have not the intelligence or
independence to reject them.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER'S re-distri-
bution of the stamp duties on the transfer of land is
a move in the right direction. It is indeed a very
small one, quite unworthy of a statesman or a party
that felt the power to deal with a great question.
But still, as far as they go, these changes will be pro-
ductive of good. We are by no means partisans of
cutting up all the land in the kingdom into small
parcels; but that there might be a fairer distribution
of land, in proportion to the division and capabilities
of all kinds of property, is too glaring to be denied.
Our great landowners seem haunted by the idea
that if a certain portion of land be given
as property to yeomen, these will be likely
to extend their numbers, and throw aside
the gentlemen proprietors. The expectation or the
fear should be just the reverse. And we are confi-
dent that if one-third of each county in England was
re-distributed to yeomen proprietors, the tendency
would be, not fir them to increase with the progress
of things, but, on the contrary, to disappear as they
have done before, that is, if the country goes on ac-
cumulating wealth.

We do not think, then, that such a proposal as that
of Mr. LockE KING, nor the facilitating of transfix'
of land, as proposed by Sir CHARLES WOOD, are
either of them a levelling process. To throw a more
numerous proprietary and greater wealth upon the land
would enhance its influence and value, without dis-
turbing the existence of what must ever exist in a
wealthy land, a wealthy proprietorial class.

The earnings fir October and November, 1849, were

above, will make the *TON earnings for the present financial

of 1,060,000 dole. The entire balsam of indebtedness of
the company, December 1, 1849, was about 102,000 dole.,
which the directors wisely determined to liquidate, as far as
possible, from the nett earnings of the current year. It will
appear from the above statement, that the expectation, of
the directors will be realised, and that the indebtedness of
the oompsny will be reduced to a very small amount at the
close of the financial year, thereby enabling t►em (or the

the subject of rents, not intended for publication, has found
its way into some of the London and some of the country
newspapers, and I ucdentand that an expression in it has
been considered to convey an opinion which I certainly did
not intend it should, Damply, that my expectation is that
prices of agricultural produce will be lower than they now
are.' What I meant to Bay was, that I was inclined to be-
lieve prices would be lower than they had been before the
alteration of the law. I believe prices will be higher than
they are now. For a considerable time I have stated that
belief, and you know I have acted upon it in my own farm.
