INTELLIGENCE of these men and their families, and that a system of magis-
. tr icy should be provided, either from among the officers
accompanying them, or from other sources. Means will
also be devised for keeping up the military exercises of the
emigrants, at all events during the period of their receiving
pay from government. Her Majesty's government express
a hope that so valuable an addition to the population and
defence of the colony will receive temporary encouragement
and assistance from the local legislature ; and in the con-
fident expectation that this hope will be fully realised, the
governor invites the co-operation and concurrence of the
Legislative Council in any measures which may be found
necessary to carry out this object.
The message to the assembly concludes with the
following sentence:—
And in this expectation he proposes to the House of
Assembly that they should empower him to appropriate to
the settlement of these emigrants a sum not exceeding
£40,000, to be raised, if necessary, by debentures upon the
security of the revenues of this colony; and that they will
concur in the future appropriation to the same object, as
1-- as it may be required, of any portion of the sums
red in Schedule D which may be available for such

The following. motions were unanimously adopted
by the Legislative Council :

That a committee be appointed to draw up an address to
the Queen, congratulating her Majesty on the glorious ter-
mination of the war, and further thanking her Majesty for
the boon she bas been pleased to concede to the colony, in
the proposed settlement of so large a number of military
pensioners on the Border, which the Council hope will effec-
tive'y secure the peace and prosperity of this settlement,
and that the committee consist of the actin°. President,
Messrs, llutberfoord, Ebden, Cock, Gadlonton, and the
mover; that two respectful addresses be pres nted to his
Excellency the Governor in answer to the two messages
receiv,d this day, and that the above committee do draw

In the House of Assembly on May 80, Mr.
Moltene moved, and Mr. Shepperson seconded, the
following resolution :
The house having taken into consideration his Excel=
lency the Governor's message, No. 39, of the 29th of May,
whilst expressing their gratitude to her Majesty's govern-
ment for the anxious solicitude now again, as always,
evinced by her Maj,,.sty for the welfare of this colony, view

in a most favourable light the proposed plan of locating
such officers and privates of the British German Legions
who would offer themselves, and be eligible for this service,
as a military settlement in this colony, where policy and
circumstances should dictate. That in the opinion of this
house, a sum necessary for insuring the succ,ss and useful-
ness of such settlement, would be advantageously employed
for the security and general prosperity of this colony, and
pledges itself to make good any amount, not exceeding the
sum of £40,000, which may he necessary for carrying out
the objects of this plan. The house is also of opinion that
any portion of the sum reserved in Schedule D, which may
be available for such a purpose might be advantageously
appropriated to the same object.

This resolution was immediately approved, and
the house having resumed, it was forthwith for-
warded to the governor.

The Legislative Council had finally passed the
estimates for 1856, precisely in the manner in
which they have been passed by the assembly.
Parliament was to be prorogued in a fey days.
Arrangements were about to be made for a
general illumination in Cape Town, in honour of
the intelligence of peace.

OSBORNE, ArousT 26.—Her Majesty and the Prince,

accompanied by Prince Arthur and the Princess Louisa,
inspected the depot battalion at Parkhurst, under the corn-
mand of Lieutenant-Colonel Jeffreys, yesterday. The
Belgian Minister, M. Van de Weyer, and Madame Van de
Weyer, arrived on a visit to the Queen. To-day being the
anniversary of Prince Albert's birthday, the band of the
Royal Marines played a selection of music on the terrace.

It is understood that a resolution has been adopted by
the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company, within the
last few weeks, to reduce their rates of passage money, on
the Ist of January next, to the scale which was in opera-
tion previously to the great increase in the cost of coals,
&c., in 1853.

The recent heavy rains have done considerable damage to
the ripening grain throughout the district, great quanaties
of it being laid ; but 6e present hard dry weather may
help to raise to it; and notwi a:tanding what has oc-
curred, the crop yet gives promises of being a good one.—
Dundpe Courier.

SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH TO AMERICA.—The Propontis,
Captain Goodwin, belonging to the General Screw Steam
Company, put into Plymouth on Friday morning, &dm
Newfoundland, having successfully laid submarine cables
between Cape Breton and Newfoundland, and between
New Brunswick and Prince Edward's Island. The steamer
will be immediately employed in laying a cable from Ire-
land across the Atlantic.
Nonwicrt MUSICAL FESTIVAL —The arrangements for
the next musical festival at N3rwich are' progressing
satisfactorily. The committee now includes 3.5 gentlemen
of the city and county, and at a recent meeting it was
decided that there should be four morning and three even-
ing performances as usual, and that Mendelssohn's Elijah
and Handel's Messiah should be two of the oratorios per-
formed. The evening performances will be of a miscella-
neous character.

TRIAL TRIP.—The new screw steamship Aden, a fine
steamer belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental onpany,

was tried at the measured mile, in Stoke'a Bay, on itur-
day. The Aden is the largest iron steamer ever built in
Southampton. Several of the directors of the company,
together with the Surveyor of the Board of Trade,
attended to witness the trial which was satisfactory, the
mean of f ,ur runs at the measured mile, being 12,519
knots, equal to a speed of 14.5 statutemiles per hour.
In reply to some attacks on the Emigration Com-
missioners, R. S. Davis writes to The Times :—I have
during the last 16 or 17 years applied for passages to
Australia for nearly 500 poor people, and in no instance
have I ever found the least irregularity in the Emigration
Office. The persons I have interested myself about,
have been from England, Scotland, and Ireland, have
embarked at Glasgow, Dublin, Birkenhead, London,
Southampton, and Plymouth, and have proceeded to
Adelaide, Melbourne, Geelong, Portland Bay, Sydney,
and Moreton Bay ' • and in every case each person has
gone to the exact locality he desired.

COLONEL TURR'S ARREST.—This gallant gentleman has
addressed a letter to a London morning cotemporary, in
which the following passage occurs—" It is now the first
time since my liberation that I revisit England, the first
time that I have the privilege of learning the general
interest and sympathy of the British public in my behalf, the
timely manifestation of which efficiently strengthend the
interposition of the government. Penetrated by a lively
sense of obligation for the benefit thus received under the
most tryinz circumstances, I beg that you will allow me to
fulfil a public duty, by permitting me to pay, through
your columns, my humble homage of gratitude for the
public protection and private sympathy I have been honoured
%vitt).

INFAMOUS ACCUSATION.—At the Central Criminal Court,
on Thursday, before Baron Martin, James Williamson, aged
21, described as a labourer, was indicted for feloniously
accusing Robert Dye of an infamous crime, with the view of
extorting money from him. Mr. Logic prosecuted; the
prisoner was undefended. The prosecutor is a clerk in one
of the city churches, and was accosted one evening by the
prisoner, who (might money, but being repulsed, at once
threatened to accuse ttv, prosecutor. lie was at first alarmed,
and took the prisoner home with him to give him money.
The prisoner was found guilty. Baron Martin said he looked
upon the crime committed by the prisoner as equal to that
of murder, and he should mark his reprobation of it by
sentencing the prisoner to penal servitude for the term of his
natural life.

EXTRAORDINARY CLOTH 12.1138ERY, AND DISCOVERY OF
THE PLUNDER, AT LEEDS.—Between nine o'clock on Mon-
day night and six o'c ock on Tuesday morning, the
mill occupied by Messrs. Hardwick Brothers, and known
as Millgarth Mill, in Dyer street, Leeds, was entered by
thieves. The robbers had broken into the premises through
the roof, and succeeded in taking away between 25 and 30
ends of black union cloth in an unfiniahed state. From
certain information, detective officers Bramley d Mus-
grove proceeded to an unoccupied house in Dyer street, and
there they discovered 25 ends of the cloth that had been
stolen. The ends had apparently been forced through the
lower part of the window, the p,sncs in which had been
broken, and the cloth had Blighty suffered from its contact
with the glass. A man suspected of complicity in the
as Belt, cabinetmaker, has been
robbery, named Thorn
apprehended by detective officer Bramley. Belt is known
to the police, and had several yards of black cloth in his
possession when he was taken into custody.

CATHERINE HAVES.—MiSS Hayes Catherine is about to
leave London for Paris, and will probably return to Arne.
rica this winter. The artistic voyage round the world of
this artiste is the most extraordinary one ever undertaken
by any singer. Miss Hayes left Liverpool for New York
in the Pacific, in 1851. After a tour in the United States

Wlrroz, MURDER.—At an inquest •held by adjourn•
ment, on the 18th August, at Castledermott, Ireland, on
the body of Catherine Ryin, the jury unanimously
delivered as their verdict " that the deceased Catherine
Ryan came to her death from the effects of a gun-shot

BURNING or AlVEsszr,.—On Thursday morning, about
half-past two o'clock the barque Elizabeth, of Bangor,
was run in great haste into Belfast, as she had been set
on fire by part of her lime cargo, which had become
saturated with water. She left Larne the previous day
with a cargo of lime for Holyhead, but the wind blowing
very fresh, and the sea running high, she began to leak,
and the water thus came into contact with the cargo. The
decks have been broken up, and the owners of the cargo
have transferred it to the " skeoghs " of the Harbour
Commissioners.

ATTEMPT TO UPSET A TRAIN.—A large stone, about
half a ccvt. weight, was placed by some evil disposed
Person on the Cork and Dublin line of railway, at
Ki!cotton, between Kilbricken and Ballybrophy. For-
tunately the obstruction was noticed by the guard of the
four o'clock down train, and removed before the up-train
arrived. The guard stat s, that when approaching he saw
a person running from the spot, which excited his sus-
picion. Mr. Tydd, inspector over the line, has been
making a searching enquiry, but without any success.—

—On the morning of the 911 inst a fishing boat containing
a crew of nine men, while endeavouring to get to sea from
the river Inns, was upset in Ballinskelligs bay, a very heavy

FATAL ACCIDENT.—An inquest was held by Mr. Coroner
Barry. on Friday, on the bodies of two men named William
Barry and William Lynch. On Wednesday morning the
deceased, who were fishermen, went out in a small boat
from a little place called Barry's Cove, near Youghal
Bay, barony of Imokilly, and townland of Knockadown.
They had their nets out previously, and went out on
Wednesday morning between seven and eight to draw
them. At the distance of less than half a mile from land,
a strong wind came from the north-east, blowing right
upon the land, and with the heavy rolling of the sea the
boat upset, and the five men who were on board were
drowned in sight of their relatives, who were distant
not half a mile, but were unable to render any aid.
Three of the unfortunate men were seen struggling for a
lorg time, ultimately perished with the others. Their
names are William Barry, 45 years of age, leaving five
children ; William Lynch, 50 years of age, leaving a wife
and six children, the eldest of whom is a cripple; William
Ahern, 47 years of age, leaving a wife and three children ;
two brothers, named Garrett Barry. and Michael
Barry, aged 20 and 23, nephews to William Barry,
one of the men who were drowned. The bodies of William
Barry and William Lynch were washed ashore. one within

boys who were drowned received so great a shock from the
calamity that he has ever since been bereft of reason, and
continues walking up and down the beach, stating that he
is waiting until his two boys return. The families of the
deceased have been reduced to the direst distress by this
accident, baing completely destitute of Einnort. A sub-

THE REV. JOSIAH 13. LOWE ON
" SCIENTIFIC THEOLOGY."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES.

Sir,—With reference to the statements and insinuations
contained in Mr. Lowe's letter of the 25th inst., allow me to
assure the public of what you, sir, well know to be the truth,
viz., that whoever " Yoram" may be, he has written one
letter, in reply to the Liverpool Herald, under the
soubriquet of " Save me from my friends :" he has written
several letters, in connection with Mr. Lowe'e correspondence
with the Courier, under the signature of " Verax :" anJ he
has not written as " Scientia," or as " W.," or under any of
the numerous titles which have been borne by your different
correspondents.

Mr. Lowe has never answered my questions touching the
want of scholarship, or the want of candour, which he showed
in charging Mr. Macnaught with heresy for adopting " the

instead of "truth," as the translation of certain
passages in St. John's Gospel. When he does this, he may

perhaps find that there are other portions of his ten letters
which are not quite so unquestionable as he now appears to
