THE lONIAN ISLANDS

The following Proclamation, "by his Excellency
the Right Hon. William Ewart Gladstone, mem-
ber of her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy
Council and Lord High Commissioner of her

Majesty, the protecting Sovereign in and for the
United States of the lonian Islands," &c., was
published by Mr. Gladstone to announce his acces-
sion to the office of Lord High Commissioner:—
Her Majesty
.the Protecting Sovereign having been
pleased to appoint the Right Hon. Wm. Ewart Gladstone
Her Majesty's Lord High Commissioner in and for these
States, his Excellency announces that he has assumed,
and from this day forward will exercise, the rights,
authority, and prerogatives attached to his station as
Lord High Commisioner of her Majesty the Protecting
Sovereign in the lonian Islands. Given from the Palace
of St. Michael and St. George, Corfu, January 25. By
command of his Excellency,
G. F. BOWEN,
Secretary to the Lord High Commissioner.

The following is a translation of the Message of
his Excellency the Lord High Commissioner to the
Most Noble the Legislative Assembly :
Mr. President and Gentlemen,—Her Majesty the Pro-
tecting Sovereign, having recently thought fit to despatch
a Commissioner to the lonian Islands to examine into
their political and administrative system, was pleased to
lay her commands upon me to undertake this office and
to lay before her Majesty the results.
I found it my duty humbly to submit recommendations
to her Majesty on the subject which her Majesty had
instructed me to examine.

Her Majesty has decided that a prompt readjustment
of the lonian Constitution would best give effect to her
benevolent intention, and would conduce to the well-
being of the lonian people, for the older and the newer
parts of that Constitution, belonging to different systems,
and not presenting provisions of a nature to establish
harmony between them, and more or less in conflict
with one another, so that the existing guarantees,
whether for popular rights on the one hand, or for the
moral influence and vigorous action of the lonian Go-
vernment on the other, would admit of improvement.
. Her Majesty has thought fit to intrust me with the
powers and office of Lord High Commissioner of the
lonian Islands for this occasion. _

For a purpose so grave, and from its own nature so
urgent, the Assembly has been summoned to meet earlier
than usual in an extraordinary session.

At the moment of its gathertncr together, I lose no time
in informing the Assembly that it is my intention, on the
earliest day that it shall be found convenient, to lay before
it in a speech the principal matters which have appeared
to her Majesty to require attention, with a view to the
increase of the blessings of good government in these
islands,

I have the honour to be, Mr. President and gentlemen,
your most obedient and humble servant, _

W. E. GLADSTONE.
By command of his Excellency,
G. F. BOWEN,
Secretary to the Lord High Commissioner
Corfu, January 25. ---

NOTIFICATION,

Notice is hereby given, that his Excellency the Lord
High Commissioner will hold 'a levee at the Palace of St.

POEMS BY "ISA."

Edinburgh : Wm. Blackwood and Sons- 1856. Ode on
the Centenary of Barns; Crystal Palace Prize Poem..
By Miss Isa Craig.

• •
It is not the least remarkable result of the celebration
of the Burns Centenary that Miss Isabella Craig has
been successful in carrying off the Crystal Palace prize of
fifty guineas against 619 competitors. Miss Isa (which
is the nomne de plume of Isabella) is a young Scotch.
woman, of humble birth, unknown to fame till her recent
crowning triumph, and, as she informs us in the preface
to the, volume mentioned above, has had to support
herself by a "life of toil." It is no secret, we believe, .
that she was employed, till about two years ago, in
ministering. in one department or other of female dress,
to the requirements and tastes of the ladies of Edinburgh.
In spite of the well-known hardships of such employ-
ment, Isa found time to write occasional effusions of
considerable merit, which appeared at intervals in the
Scotsma4. "The degree of appelation," she says, "then
awarded' to them has emboldened the authoress to publish
the present collection." In this volume there are some
pieces of great beauty, but none that rivals the vigour
and richness of her laurelled "Ode," which proves that
the two years that have elapsed since their publication
have been profitably employed by her, in bringing to
maturity the Divine gift of poetry which nature has.
bequeathed to her. Their principal' characteristics
resemble very much those of her Ode to Bums. They
are specially distinguished for refinement of tone ;
gracefulness of language ; originality of thought, in so
far that the thoughts were evidently new to herself ; and,
perhaps, above all, for their sincerity of sentiment ; that
is, unaffected:tenderness—no bursts of morbid melancholy,
no calling up of egotistic experiences of the gloomy and
sorrowful- spirit which tarnish so many of the works of
our modern poets. She has a soul within her full of
poetry, and she pours it out on any subject, simple
or commonplace ; not always in notes of jubilant
melody or animating joy, but generally in tones that
strike the chords of the human heart, and raise
the dormant ideas of universal truth, that the mere con-
ceits and doggrel chants of the spasmodic school, lull into
still deeper repose. Its principal failings are the absence
of that brightness and humour which come so suitably
from the pen of a woman, and perhaps a superabundance
of reflective and even solemn thought which is made to
invest many subjects that would admit of a more humour-
some garb. Those in her native dialect are more
true womanry, and have the charm of an elegant sim-
plicity that the others do not possess. That Miss Isa
could sew allday, and return at even, outworn, to write as
exquisitely as fine a poem as " The. Midnight Wreck,"
seems almost incredible. We can afford space only for
the ending=
Wherefore all this wreck and
0 Beneficent ?
And ia there eternity

Like this ireat aueboundless sea,
To o'erwhelm us meant !
Shall a few be safely lauded

On the eternal shoie ?
And a' countless number stranded
Where thy breakers roar? '
Ali! methinks the saved—
Few
without one friend or other,
Child or parent, wife or brother.
Many that awful host—
Evermore the glory scorning,
On that shore would wander mourning,
Seeking for the lost.

All that we have said about her volume might be
predicted, of her Prize Ode. It is, in many respects, an
extraordinary production for a' woman of Isa's tender
years. It was pretty generally supposed to be by Pro-
fessor Ayton, till the truth became universally known.
Although very unlike the "Lays of the Cavaliers," or
"Bothwell," it was more like the elevated task of a
professor of rhetoric, who has written poetry and lectured
on versification half his days, than by a young woman,
comparatively illiterate, who has, probably, never received
or given a lesson in prosody in her life.

The measures which she has chosen are not the most
agreeable, nor the best adapted to set forth the merits of
a composition to cursory readers. But she has shown
great skill in varying them according to the gloomy or
joyous character of the theme. As well sing the funeral wail
and the marriage song to the same music, as sing in the
same metre and in the same piece, Burns born,
applauded, dejected, deserted, and immortally honoured.
Then, with what propriety she has handled the great
subject. She does not sour the taste and insult the admi-
ration with forced rapture about
The glorious and poetic peasant

Driving his laurelled plough.
But with a spirit of thoughtfulness and reverence, ad-
vances from one incident in the poet's life to another,
adorning everything in its place with a felicitous or well-
timed reflection, or pouring out a whole stanza that
will stand side by side with the best on any subject of
her sisters of the Muse. She elicits attention to the
great question of the poem by a preface

We hail this day,
A century's noblest gift.

She follows it with an introduction upon the immortality
of, sterling genius. In the third stanza, 'The gentle
boy is born," who, while he fills his mother's heart with
anxious care, is early called by his father to the field,
where he plods all day, a boy still but a " God-made
king" and " nature's noblest guest,"' entertained at her
feasts by her anthems rolling

From the storm-wind among the winter pines,
Down to the tenderest notes
Of a low. warole from the linnet's throat.
But the King must leave the feast and lead the fight, and
in fighting, though he falls, "he is a King for all."
People may moralise that he might have been saved by
certain cautions and checks ; but (this stanza alone might
might redeem a volume)

It might not be !
That heart of harmony
Had been too rudely rent ;
Its silver chords which any hand could wound,
By no hand could be tuned
Save by the maker of the instrument ;
Its every string he knew,
And from profaning touch the heavenly gift withdrew.

His country may regret the neglect of her noblest son
when alive in it, but she amply redeems it by making the
land he trod "a place of pilgrimage," which she feels to
be a duty, because her daughters

Soften at his strain ;
Her hardy sons sent forth across the main
To drive the plough-share through earth's virgin soil,
Lighten with it their cares.
And other nations join with her in her jubilee, for

Sister lands have learned to love the tongue
In which such songs are sung.

To introduce so much, and to leave out so little, that was
noteworthy in the life of the poet, and to treat everything
so well, required no moderate share of ability, and
consequently promises great things of Miss Isa Oral°. in
the long future which may yet be before her ; and this
is our apology for devoting so much space to her amateur
efforts.

A BANKER'S EXPERIENCE OF MONEY
GETTING.

FROM THE " FRENCH JOURNAL

M. Salamanca still gives receptions on Tues-
days and on Thursdays. Politicians and journal-
ists of the Moderate Party are invited to his table.
Twelve gazetilleros (editors of the party known
in the Spanish journals under the title ofgacetilla),
addressed to the opulent banker an invitation to
dinner in one of the most retired hotels of Madrid.
M. Salamanca having accepted the invitation, a
dinner at eights reels per head was given in the
Hotel de Paris.
In the centre of the table was placed, instead of
a vase of flowers, a pyramid of Spanish books, and
busts of Calderon, Lope de Vega, Cervantes, and
Velasque. The dinner was more than modest, and
the clever speech. delivered by M. Salamanca
certainly merits the honour of reproduction.
" Gentlemen," said he, " twenty-five years ago, at
the University of Grenada, the rusty and thread-
bare gown of the student Salamanca alone
distinguished him from his shabbily and ill-
dressed comrades. After having finished my
studies I went to Malaga, where I became
editor of the journal E. Arisudor Mcclagueno.
Then the thirst for gold took possession of me.
I came to Madrid, where I found the object of my
ambition, but at the price of the illusions of my
early life.. Yes, gentlemen, the man whose desires
have been realised has no more enjoyment.
" Follow without turning aside, the way which
you have taken.
". The fame of Rothschild will cease on the day
of his death.
" Immortality can be won, but never bought,
" You have beforo you the busts of men who
cultivated the arts with honour. These busts I
have seen everywhere in Europe ; but, gentlemen,
I have never seen one statue raised to the memory
of the man who devoted his life to acquiring gold.
I speak to-day with all the ardour of two-and-
twenty, for you have made me forget the banker
in recalling to my mind the days or my youth and
happiness.

Wednesday next.

LIVERPOOL POLICE lINTELLIGENCE.
BEFORE MR MANSFIEL'
DANGEROUS WOUNDING.— Nathaniel Oldman, was
charged for having inflicted a dangercus wound on John
Harrison. Mr. Lowndes was for the prisoner. It appeared
that the parties were engaged about the docks-when they
had some quarrel about a boat, and in the heat-of passion
the prisoner struck the other man a violent blow in the
back with a chisel, inflicting a dangerous wound. A
certificate from Dr. Wall, of the Northern Hospital; was
produced, and it stated that the man was in a dan
state at present. The prisoner was remanded.
RELIGION (?).—A stormy lookiiig old gentleman
with an equinoxial looking head of huir,
whose name appeared as Charles Morris,
but who refused to tell where his- local habitation is
situate., or in what way the exudes from his forehead pro-
duces something to fortify his stomach, was brought. up
by officer Tunstall, 734, on a charge of having assaulted
him. The officer said -I was on duty last night in
Park-road, when the prisoner came up to me and
asked what religion I professed ? I told him to go
home and say his prayers, as I saw he was very drunk.
He insisted on my telling him what religion I
was, but I declined, and still wanted him to go home and
sleep himself sober, and then he could say his prayers
after his own fashion. Oh yes, replied he, this is the way
I pray, at the same time, hitting me a kick on the shin
that knocked the skin off it. In reply to his Worship,
the prisoner said, he was quite oblivious to the whole
affair, as he was in a state of obnubilation ! His
Worship said, it was perfectly monstrous to have people
going about the town kicking other folks, in the name
of religion. He fined the obnubilated old gentleman 10s.
and costs, or fourteen days imprisonment.
FATAL EFFECTS OF DRlNK.—Officer Steel,. 201, brought
up a man named Angus M'Glane, on a charge of being
drunk and disorderly. It appeared that about two
o'clock in the morning, the prisoner, with another man
named Charles Dodd, were passing along Bedford-street,
Park ; they were very drunk and disorderly, and the other
man fell once or twice in the street ; they had some quarrel
about half a sovereign, but he could not tell if the
prisoner knocked the other man down or not. He took
them to the station, where the other man got extremely
ill, and he heard he was since dead. Bridewell-keeper
Swaine said the other man, who•lived in Warwick-street,
got extremely ill, from excessive drinking, and he sent
him home, and got a medical man to attend him, and he
understood the man was since dead. His Worship hoped
the awful warning would be salutary to the prisoner, and
discharged him.
THE £760 ROBBERY.—Wm. Lynch, Mary Gallaher,
Barney Mitchell, and Robert Kelly, who stood remanded
on a charge of having robbed a foreign merchant, named
Betham Save, of £760 in notes, were brought up.
Mr. Bluck was for the prisoners. The details of this case
were published two or three times during the week. The
evidence was gone over again the same as before. It was

not sufficiently strong akainst Kelly, and he was dis-
charged. The other three prisoners were sent for trial.
BEFORE MESSR.S. BENN AND HOLME.
THE CASE OF THE " DONALD M‘Kay."—This case
was resumed on Saturday. Mr. Cobb was•for the com-
plainants, on the part of Captain Schomberg, and Mr.
Forshaw for the defence. Mr. Cobb opened the case,
and said the passengers complained of the following
provisions : the biscuits, oatmeal, and preserved potatoes.
The'beef was black and bad, and the pork stinking. The
sugar was not sugar, but sand. They got no lime juice
for thirty days after they left Melbourne. The suet was
bad, the raisins bad, and the butter rancid. Such a
complaint, he said, was not before made against the respect-
able owners of the ship. He called the following witnesses :
James Patterson, a fore saloon passenger on board, was
examined : We sailed on the 6th November, and arrived
here on Wednesday. We had biscuits every day, and for
the first day or two they were very good. After that,
they were mouldy and maggotty. Asked the captain if
they were fit to be used, and he said he did not know.
We got no better after. The same kind were served for
weeks. Had no fault to find with the flour. The oat-
meal was bad; the meal itself was good, but mixed up
with rat and mouse dirt; it was so dirty, it could not
be cleaned. The peas, for the latter half of the voyage,
sour, and so were the potatoes. We had very good pork:,
but sometimes it smelt. The beef was black, and I could
not eat it. Got lime juice, when I asked for it. The
suet was not good ; the raisins were poor, and dirty, and
maggotty. The' butter was not good. We had fresh
meat twice a week Wednesdays and Sundays, about two
ounces of it. Cross-examined by Mr. Forshaw : I had
porridge in the morning, with biscuits, and
.our quantity
of flour, made into bread, with tea and coffee. Got beef
and bouilli. Eat meat, rice, and potatoes, and 'biscuits
and cheese. • Had duck also. Took away a pudding,
but it was for a joke. I was tried by a judge and jury,
on board, for that, and had to pay 2s. 6d. for at.
Did not complain to the captain. Had fresh mutton
twice. I was not sick. The food agreed with
most of the men. There was an allowance of flour
in place of the oatmeal. Had both flour and oat-
meal—as much as we liked of the latter, and the flour
at the same time. Mr. Cobb : We do not complain of
the quantity, but of the quality. I read and signed the
testimonial to Captain Tobin as a sailor and a man. I
complained to Captain Schomberg. To Mr. Cobb : I
never sailed with a better captain, and have sailed several
times. The fresh meat was very good, indeed: Francis
Keely, a passenger in the fore saloon, was examined, and
said, he saw worms in the biscuit; for some of the last
weeks they were better. He gave somewhat the same
sort evidence as the first witness. Some of the pork
was first-rate all the way, but some was bad.
The beef was bad, but I never complained to the captain.
The white sugar was good, but the other was bad.
but some of it was not bad. There was no gravy to the
preserved meat, and the preserved potatoes were bad,
and the suet was awful. The raisins skipped about with
maggots. The butter was bad. Had the smell of fresh
meat twice a week. Mr. Benn : But you might have
had some if you liked? I don't know. The captain
said—l gave them that extra, as well as their weekly
allowance. Cross-examined by Mr. Forshaw : I com-
plained to the captain, but can't tell when first. I could
not use the oatmeal because of the reptiles—(laughter)—
the rat dirt. The captain said it was not his fault, as he
could not help it. I signed the memorial to the
captain—l have no fault to find with him. I said
if it had anything to do with the Company I would
not sign it. Dr. Stewart, a passenger, was next
examined, and corroborated the foregoing evidence,
and said the pork was excessively, bad, hist he did not
• think the beef was so bad. Captain Tobin was excessively
kind to every one. They had sea-pies of passable quality,
but complained of the quantity. He read a letter
written by him to the purser on the subject. Mr. Cobb
said he had other witnesses, but, as their evidence would
be a repetition of that already given, he would not call
them. Mr. Forshaw then addressed the bench for the
defence, and said the case made for the complainant was
very slight indeed, and not supported'. The passengers
got an abundance of every tning, and a great deal that
was not in the scale at all, so that they had, in
fact, extra allowance—in fact they had shown they had
too much. The witnesses, he said; differed considerably
in their statements as to the quality of the provi-
sions, and he contended that the first witness was
very vindictive. The flour was always good, and was
substituted for the oatmeal, and the beef was only com-
plained of because it looked black. He went through
the evidence, and congratulated the witnesses on their
fine healthy appearance, although they would make the
court believe they wore half starved:. He dwelt on the
fact that they had challenged Captain Schomberg to go
on board and examine the. character and
quality of all the provisions on board, which
was complained of, but it was not done, nor
was there even produced a sample of anything bad from
the stores. Amongst the great number of passengers
brought by the ship only four were discontented out of
the lot, and these wanted to make money out of it by
screwing the owners. He again called on the autharities
to examine the provisions in the ship,. and see if these
were not of the first quality. The Magistrates consulted,
when Mr. Benn said there was considerable discrepancy
in the evidence given for the complaint, but still the
balance went against the ship, and it was proved that
some of the articles were not good; the etxent, how-
ever, was not math, and under all the circumstances.
of the case, the fine should be one of £lO only—
with regard to the. charge of having hides on board
the vessel, as a passenger ship, contrary to the act, Mr.
Forshaw said, the agents at Melbourne never contem-
plated evading the law ; they took passengers, so, as
o
make her what is called "a short ship," whilst Oey could
have got over 300 passengers more, but they refused to
take them, in order to send 700 tons of hides by tote.
.
vessel. Mr. Alderman Holme said, he was bound to say
that there was groat discrepancy in the evidence given,
the whole case, and, therefore, as to the charge relative
to the hides, the fine should be only £5. The cue. then
tormivated.

upon the refuse which was deposited at this place before
that power was obtained, a most offensive and injurious
effluvia arose therefrom. The water, having no proper
outlet, remained stagnant, and became an intolerable
nuisance. The Health Committee made a sewer in the
locality, chiefly with the view of getting the offensive
pits in the neighbourhood drained, and Mr. Shelmerdine
had connected some of them with the sewer, but it was

appeared that only a few men were employed at the
work, the object, as was supposed, being not to do
more than could be helped until the
sand was
sold. In this state of things, Mr. William Brown,
M.P., and Mr. Joywon„ who are interested in
warehouses in the neighbourhood, finding that the
workpeople employed there suffered from the malaria
arising from the pits, very properly complained to the-
health committee, through his Worship the Mayor, and
hence this information. Mr- M'Gowen submitted that
it was the duty of the defendant to fill up the place, at
all events so as to effect di-ail:age, without an hour's
delay, and he would submit to the bench that the proper
plan would be to summon Mr. Shelmerdine diily until
the work is completed. Mr. Fresh proved the case as
stated. Mr. Freeny, the inspectOr said, that for some
time past only one man with a -wheelbarrow had been
employed at the work, that this was ridiculous, and. that
there was no difficulty in getting plenty of men and carts
to fill up the ground at once. Mr. Joynson also attended,
and proved the great inconvenience suffered by the workmen,.
and others in the neighbourhood, from the smells emitted.
from the pools of stagnant water. Mr. Bean said the
subject of the nuisance arising from the water remaining'
in the pits of chemical refuse, had been before him on
former occasions. He was satisfied that the public.
suffered very much. Indeed, it was a question with him,
whether the parties who had deposited this refuse, ought
not to be compelled to remove it, as it would always be
a nuisance when opened for sewers, buildings, orother-
wise. There was no reason why the defendant should
have any indulgence, seeing that he represented a very
rich man. Alderman Houghton observed that there
would be no difficulty in finding abundance of proper
refuse to fill up the pits, and the work ought to. be done
at once. Mr. Shelmerdine stated that he had given
directions for these places to be filled up as speedily as
possible, but the workmen had been delayed occasionally
by the rain. The matter should, however, receive imme-
diate attention. Mr. Benn: I shall inflict the full
penalty, and if the Health Committee find you are not
making such progress as you ought, we cannot object to
their coming here again, daily.

FRIDAY

BEFORE MR. MANSFI•ELD

ASSAULT BY A MERCHANT.—Mr. George Craig, de-
scribed as a ship-broker, &e., residing in Mason-street,
was charged for having assaulted a 'bus-driver named
Robert Syme. The officer said, the gentleman was given
to him in charge in Mount-pleasant, for committing the
assault, but he did not see it. The complainant was
bleeding very much from the mouth and nose, and, had
a large cut across the latter. The complainant said,
he was driving his vehicle down Mount-pleasant the
previous night,- having the prisoner, as a passenger,.
sitting behind him. All of a sudden the gentleman
snatched the whip out of his hand, and struck him several
times across the face, inflicting a wound on his nose,
and breaking the whip across his face and head.
The defendant, in answer to the charge, said he was in a
hurry, and asked the driver to push on a little quicker,
when he began to d— and call him a blackguard and a
scoundrel, and then struck him with the whip, and he.
only caught hold of it to prevent him from striking him
again. The complainant cursed and swore at him, and
called him all sorts of names, and he was about to give
him in charge, but.lomehow or other, between the police-
man and the complainant, they managed to give him into
custody. It was all done through vindictiveness because
he did not give him a Christmas-box. The conductor
of the 'bus fully proved the statement made by
Syme. In reply to Mr. Mansfield, Mr. Nicoll,
the bridewell-keeper, said the driver was sober, but
the gentleman was very drunk. His Worship fined the
defendent £5, or in default of payment, two months
imprisonment. The fine was paid at once.
VIOLENT " FLATMEN." A flatman, named James Hart,
was charged under the following circumstances. It
appeared that, after one o'clock in the morning, the
prisoner and some fourteen other flatmen, went to the
public-house of Jannett .I.Pliennell, of Gascoyne-street,
and wanted to get in, but were refused; some of them
got over a back wall, and others commenced breaking in
both front and back doors. The owner of the house and
her servant, were dreadfully alarmed, and were defending
the door, which was on the point of being broken in,
when the police came up, and arrested the prisoner ; all
the others got off. The prisoner was fined 165., the
value of the damage done to the doors.

Inspector Epworth brought up two persons, named
Michael Patterson and John Hand, on charges of having
deserted their wives and families. The first was sent to
gaol for one month, the latter-for three months.
