SEPT:

THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT IN TEE
BRISTOL CHANNEL.
On Thursday we gave the details of a most me-
lancholy accident which occurred in the Bristol
Channel off Clevedon, and which resulted in the
deaths of four young men, three of whom were the
sons of respectable tradesmen residing at this fashion-
able watering place, and the fourth had recently come
to live there. One of the bodies has been recovered,
and en inquest has since been held on it by Mr.
T. L. Whitmore, the deputy-coroner for the district,
when, in addition to the facts already
given,
it was shown that on Ss'urday, the 31st ult., three of
the deceased were engaged about some new build-
ings in the process of erection at Clevedon. It was
then agreed on to make up a boating party to go
to Weston-super-Mare the following day, to hich
altogether five persons consented—namely, thew four
deceased men, George Hurdle, mason, aged 28 ;
William Laurie, 22, a carpen,er ; Samuel Fripp, 29,
lime burner; James Davis, 23, baker; and also
another young man awned Charles Merchant, a mason
Hurdle undertook to steer the boat. They started
early in the morning, and after about three hours'
sailing they arrived safely at Weston, where they
spent the day. In the afternoon they all re-em-
barked, except Merchant, who expressed his inten-
tion of remaining at Weston all night, and returning
to Clevedon by the first train the next morning. The
four deceased were never again seen alive. The body of
Davis was discovered the next day on the sands at a
place called Woodspring, in the parish of Caew-
k stoke, about four miles from Clevedon, and the
boat itself was found upset near Kingston Wharf.
The body of Davis presented a shocking sight, having
been much eaten about the face and neck by crabs,
several of which were hanging about it when it was
recovered. The boat, it was stated, was a very
small one, and by no means fit to venture to sea in.
It is supposed to have capsized off a very dangerous
point, known as Fiddler's-point, or to have
struck a sand bank inamediately
the ni beyond
and turned over. It seems
thatght
was very gusty, and the wind rose consider-
ablypkeeper at
after 4 o'clock, the time the party started from
Weston. It is said that the unfortunate deceased

point, where there is a strong current and two tides
meet. All four of the deceased were much respected
at Clevedon. The jury returned a verdict of aeaie
dental death. One of the young men has left a
widowed mother, who is a respectable silo
Clevedon, to deplore the loss of an only son.

THE WRECKERS AT THE NORE.
The subjoined protest has been entered by the
master of the schooner Renown (which vessel was
pillaged by wreckers on the Nore Sand), with a view
to ulterior proceedings in the Admiralty Court :
" That at 11 P.M, while steering a course W.N. W. I N.,
the ship struck on the Nore Sand, and immedietely filled.
It being then the last quarter ebb, and, after repeatedly
striking heavily, the water flowed in from the atter part

to make water, and the sea running heavy, they (the
crew)
were compelled to leave the ship and take to their

masted to-day, to be fitted out as one of the advanced
squadron in reserve at this port.
The Edinburgh, 56, is in the Angle Dock, with
sails bent. She is to come out again on the 12th inst.
Her catheads require to be raised, as her two fore-
most ports on her lower deck cannot be opened, as the
best and small bower anchor stocks come just before
them. She is coaling in dock. This ship in her prac-
tice cruise fired away in day and night practice no
less than five tons of gunpowder, and a corresponding
allowance of shot and shell. In a night exercise at a
floating lantern the gallant Captain Chads himself
knocked the lantern away, but the half-crown
(awarded to such practice) was given to the captain
of the gun from which the shot was fired.
The ships at Spithead, the Blenheim, the Tiger, the
Wasp, and the Niger, got the man ropes on the
yards this morning, in anticipation of the royal squa-
dron passing through the anchorage.
The 7th Royal Fusileers leave this garrison to-
morrow and the next day, in two divisions. An Irish
steam-boat is now alongside the dockyard, embarking
baggage. She will sail to-morrow with the first di-
vision, returning back for the second.

RUMOURED Dr A.Tn OF LORD T. ANKPRVILLE.—
Saturday's Gateshead Observer states that intelligence reached
that office just as the taper was going to press, announcing
the death of the venerable Earl of rankerville. Should
this intelligence prove correct, Lord Ossulsten, his Lordship's
eldest son, will succeed to the title and the peerage, and a
vacancy in the representation
_will be created in North
Northumberland, where Lords _will
and Lovaine were
returned at the recent election.

OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Gloucester, Aug. 7.
CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice CEESSWELL.)

MASTERS V. JOHNSON.

Mr. WhatelPy, QC., and Mr. Phipson appeared for
the plaintiff; Mr. Keating, Q.C., and Mr. Gray for
the defendant.

The plaintiff was a commercial traveller, and the
defendant a wholesale draper at Birmingham, and the
action was for 1661., the balance of a thre?-quarters of
a years' salary at 2501. a year. The chief question
in the case was, whether the plaintiff was engaged by
the week at 41. 101., or by the year at 2501. Both
plaintiff and defendant were examined, and they swore
point blank against each other, the plaintiff swearing
that it was a yearly hiring at 2501., and the defendant
swearing that it was only a weekly hiring at 41. 103.
Each was corroborated to a certain extent by other
witnessee and evidence.

His LORDSHIP, in summing up, expressly told the
jury that, whatever way they might decide, it would
be impossible to arrive at any other conclusion than
that either the plaintiff or the defendant came into the
witness-box with a deliberate intention to forswear
himself and deceive them.

The case commenced about two o'clock yeaterday,
and did not close till ten o'clock to-day, when
The jury, after a few minutes' consultation, found a
verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed.
The fallowing case was tried before a special jury :

had so outraged the law must undoubtedly be
punished. In coceidering the cases of rioting which
would be laid before them, the grand jury would
ascertain how far the prisoners had g.:ne in piPling
down and demolishing any places ch!. worship. With
the view of guarding the religious rights of the
Roman Catholics, the statutes to which he bad re-
ferred were in force for the purpose of protecting
their religious places of worship. Now, if they should
find that any of the prisoners charged proceeded so far
in their rioting as to begin to destroy and demolish the
chapels of the Roman Catholics then they would come
within the statue, but they must be satisfied th It there
had been en intention to demolish, either by fire or
some other mode. It was not necessary that the
Places of worship should actually have been de-
molished, because it might be that the presence of
the police had prevented the demolition being com-
pleted. The intentional beginning of the work cf
demolition was sufficient to bring the prisoners within
the meaning of the statute. In the year 1780 they
all know what dreadful excesses took place by in-
furiated mobs pulling down houses and chapels, and
it was frightful to contemhlate such lawless proceed-
ings taking place in the present day. For the pro-
tection of society, no less than for the honour of the
country, such disgraceful outrages must be checked,
and the authors of them severely punished. These
proceedings at Stockport appeared to him to be no
less an outrageous violation of the laws than the riots
which took place in the time of the late Lord George
Gordon, and he repeated that it was of the greatest
importnce that such outrages should be effectually
put down. He did not wish to address them on
the question of religious differences and animosi-
ties, neither did he wish to allude to the
acrimonious feelings which he feared existed
to too great an extent between certhin classes of
Englishmen and Irishmen who might be residing in
such places es Stockport ; but he must remind them
that as Ireland was a portion of the United Kingdom,
the Irish had as great a right to take up their resi-
dence in Stockport as any of the gentlemen before
him had to reside in the county of Chester. With
regard to the charge of homicide which had arisen
out of these charges, the coroner's jury had returned
a verdict of wilful murder against the prisoner. It
would he their duty to see whether the charge of
murder was fatly brought home to the prisoner. The
depositions in this case were very long and very con-
fused. It would appear that the prisoner struck the
deceased with a pekyr. Now, should they be of opi-
nion that the blow with the poker was deliberately
inflicted, then it would be a case of murder. If,
however, they should be of opinion that the blow was
struck in the heat of the moment the offence would be
reduced to manslaughter. After some further general
remarks his Lordship dismissed the grand jury to their
duties.

Mr. Alexander, Q.C., Mr. Keating, Q.C., and Mr.
Fallon appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Whateley,
Q.C., and Mr. Pigott for the defendant.
This was an action against the publisher of the
Cheltenham Examiner, for a libel on a Cheltenham
attorney. The libel appeared as an advertisement, in
the shape of a letter from " A Looker-on" to the
editor. After alluding to two cases of alleged ob-
struction and assault, brought by a Mr. Blagdon, a
county magistrate, and the Rev. Mr. ShuPe, against
a man named Hill, and heard before two magistrates
at petty sessions at Cheltenham, when plaintiff ape
peered as Hill's attorney, the libel stated that he,
" after most unnecessarily having attempted to brow-
beat Mr. Shute, and seeing that the case was evi-
dently against his client, got up, and instead of
making a defence, commenced a most bitter and un-
provoked attack upon the character of Mr. Blagdon
—assailed him with the vilest epithets, and charged
him with the meanest motives, by no means re-
straining his observations to the truth or the evi-
dence before him. This conduct, though extremely
bad as disgraceful in itself, I do not so much find fault
with, and doubtless Mr. Chesshyre thought it was his
proper line of business ; and, not pretending to be a
gentleman, of course he cannot be supposed to have
any respect for the feelings of a gentleman. So this
point I dismiss. But really, Sir, I think any right-
minded man must feel exceedingly indignant that the
presiding magistrate could allow an attorney to vilify
and asperse the character of a country gentleman, a
member of the bench on which he was sitting, and, I
may add, who has been a member of that bench for
a number of years—that be permitted such slanderous
and disgraceful language is most lamentable. Such
violent language as Mr. Chesshyre used ought to have
been checked at the outset; or, is it come to this, that
a gentleman cannot appear as a witness in a case with-
out being insulted to his face by an insignificant at-
torney who may be entrusted with a vagabond's de-
fence. The presiding magistrate's duty
was plain. No
such language should have been permitted; if such
infamous conduct were universal our courts of justice
would soon be converted into bear-gardens, and any
gentleman who might happen to thwart the views of
paltry attorney might be called upon to listen to lan-
guage which, according to the established rules of
society, be evidently could not resent. In conclusion,
I am sure you will agree with me when I say that it
augurs badly for our town, when a bench of magi-
strates will listen to the insulting tirade of a vulgar
demagogue, who would court popular favour at the
expense of truth and justice. As Mr. Blagdon very
wisely remarked, such conduct as Mr. Chesshyre
displayed may win the applause of the mobility. But,
Sir, is the bench to be mobbed ? are our laws to be
hoodwinked ? are the ends of justice to be defeated
by impudent blueterers ?" Immediately on the appear-
ance of this thicument the plaintiff desired that the
author should be given up ; but the defendant de-
clined to do so, and said he should be legally respon-
sible for it. Thereupon this action vs as commenced.
The defendant pleaded not guilty, and a justification
to the effect that Mr. Chesshyre's conduct at the
petty sessions warranted the description given of it.
The evidence of the two magistrates who presided on
that occasion completely disproved this justification,
and showed that the plaintiff's conduct was most pro-
per and becoming, and that the utmost that could be
said against him was, that he was irritated as well as
Mr. Blagdon, and that he did say that the charge was
a trumpery one, and that he used the word partisan
in reference to lr. Blagdon.
Mr. WHATELEY, in addressing the jury in mitiga-
tion of damages, urged that the libel was an excellent
advertisement of the plaintiff, for which be ought to
be thankful ; that to publish of him that be browbeat
a county magistrate was very likely to make his for-
, tune ; that he must feel so in his heart, and that he
would never have thought of bringing the action if it
were not for the temptation of costs.
The jury, after a short consultation, found a verdict
for the plaintiff—Damages, 403.
His LORDSHIP granted a certificate for the costs of
a special jury.

The bills in the Stockport case were before the
grand jury when our report left. The case excites the
most intense interest.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

John Thomas Parry, a compositor, was brought up
by Ware, the piernian, at Blackfriars-bridge, on a
charge of attempting to commit suicide.
John William Ware said, at about 5 o'clock in the
morning his attention was called to the prisoner in
the water, and on rowing to the spot indicated, he
saw the prisoner roll over into deep water. Witness,
however, succeeded in rescuing him, and having taken
him to the receiving house ashore, searched him, and
found only a farthing 'and some trifling articles of
little or no value. Prisoner told him he had been
driven to desperation by poverty.
Alderman FINNIS asked if the officer had made any
inquiry at the prisoner's place of abode ?
The officer said he had done so, and the'prisonn°6
wife and other friends were in cour✓.

The wife then stood forward, and in answer to in-
terrogatories from the Alderman stated that her hus-
band had had very little work to do lately, and some-
times did not earn ss. in the week. She had ten
children, and eight of them were young and at home
with her, and in great distress. Her husband left
home on Friday morning to seek for work, and find-
ing he did not return on Saturday, she applied to the
West London Union for relief, when she was told to
send her husband.

Aldermen FINNI3 inquired whom she saw at the
West London Union?—The wife said she saw the
relieving officer and the overseer.
Alderman FINN'S then asked if she stated her chil-
dren were actuelly without bread, and on receiving a
reply in the afßrmative he commented with some
warmtn upon the cruel neglect in leaving the children
to starve until the husband could be found to make a
personal application for relief. He would remand the
case, in order that the relieving officer and overseer
might attend and explain vs by they omitted to relieve
the distressed family and the prisoner.
The prisoner, on being asked what induced him to
contemplate committing such a fearful act as self-
destruction, said that not being able to obtain work
on Friday, and having no money to take home, he
could not return to see his children wanting bread.
He had no means to get a lodging elsewhere, and at
last he was reduced to such a distressed state of mind
that he scarcely knew what he:did.
The prisoner was remanded.
BOW-STREET.
James Donaldson, who has been two or three times
in custody for "smashing," although never convicted,
was charged before Mr. Hall with passing two coun-
terfeit half-crowns at the St. Clement-Danes' Savings
Bank, in Norfolk-street, Strand.
Mr. Bellamy, a clerk from the office of the Solicitor
to the Mint, begged to inform the magistrate that the
charge could not be substantiated; but as the gentle-
man who attended from the bank appeared anxious to
have the case gone into, it might be more satisfactory
to
The
with the examination.
_pie prosecutor, a gentleman connected with the
savings bank, stated that a short time back the pri-
soner applied at the office for a copy of the rules and
regulations, which ere supplied at 2d. each. He ten-
dered half-a-crown in payment and received the
change from a gentleman who was acting at the time
as manager, and who placed the coin in the drawer
with about 101. worth of silver. It was afterwards
found to be a bad one, and was consequently put aside,
in case the prisoner, who was immediately remembered
and suspected, should present himself at the bank
again. Last week the prisoner made another application
for the same book, and again tendered a bad half-
crown in payment. He was at onceidentified by
witness, who produced the former coin and placed it
on the counter, et the same time taxing the prisoner
with having passed it, and stating that he should send
for a constable. The prisoner, without saying a word,
took up the halfcrown and swallowed it ; but the
counterfeit piece which he tendered on the second
occasion was retained.

SOUTH WALES ClRCUlT—Chester, Aug. 9.
CROWN COURT.—(BeforeMr.Justice CROMPTON.)
The assizes for the county of Chester commenced
to-day. Mr. Justice Crompton presided in the Crown
Court, and Mr. Justice Taifourd at Nisi Prius.
Numerically the calendar was lighter than usual,
but several of the cases, including the Stockport
rioters, were of a serious character.
The grand jury having been sworn,
Mr. Justice CROMPTON proceeded to deliver his
charge. He said be was afraid that he could not
congratulate them as he had had the pleasure of
doing the grand juries all around the Welsh Circuit,
as to the state of crime in this county. Although
there were not so many oases in the calendar as there
had been on former occasions, yet it contained a con-
siderable number, and many of them were cases of a
serious description. Among them he found that there
was a very frightful case of the murder of a mother by
her son, which would very likely involve the state of
mind of the individual charged with the offence.
After alluding to some of the general cases in the ca.
lender, his Lordship dwelt at considerable length. on
the charges arising out of the Stockport riots. He
lamented extremely the disturbances which had re-
cently taken place in the large manufacturing town
of Stockport. religious stnimosittos seemed to have
arisen between the Roman Catholics and her Ma.
jeety's Protestant subjects in that town, and in some
measure also a feeling of hostility between the
Eeelish and the Irish existed. It was very
much to be lamented that these dissen-
sions should occur, but it would be for the
grand jury minutely to inquire into the charges
preferred, to see if the law of the land had been
violated and the Queen's peace broken. Probably
they might find that the law had been violated on
both sides, and that both these parties had brought
themselves within the terms of the:statute bearing on
the offence. He should not think of reminding gen-
tlemen like themselves that they must look at each
individual case in order to see how it was made out
against the respective prisoners, without any regard
to what might be the individual feelings of each.
Should they find the charges brought home to any of
the prisoners the law must be vindicated, and the
parties must be taught that we could not yield to
those outrageous mobs which the laws of England
so strongly deprecated. One of our late Judges had
said " he thought it right to show the abhorrence
with which the laws of England viewed the riotous
assemblages of the people." If any portion of the
community feared that their religious rights were
interfered with they must be protected. The law
protected them in their persons and property and
in the exercise of those religious rights which were,
perhaps, dearer to them than their lives—the
right to worship their Maker in the form they
had inherited from their fathers. In this respect the
law of England placed the Roman Catholic on the
same footing as the Protestant, and protected their
places of religious worship. There were statutes in
force particularly bearing upon their religious places
of worship, and it was of importance that they should
have every confidence in the just administration of
the law with regard to themselves. The Roman
Catholics should have confidence that the Govern-
ment would not interfere with them in the exercise
of their religious services, and, indeed, there was the
pledge of the Crown to that effect, for, on a recent
occasion, warning the Roman Catholics against the
violation of some particular statute, the Queen was
advised to say, " Wo are resolved to protect our
Roman Catholic subjects in the exercise of their reli-
gious rights." While they kept within the law the
rights of the Roman Catholics would he as much re-
spected as the rights of Protestants themselves. In
these cases their duty ;,would simply he to inquire
whether there had been a violation of any particular
) law, either on the one side or the other. The Learned
Judge, in continuation, proceeded to point out the
bearing of the law upon the subject. They
were, perhaps, all aware that where two or
three persons were assembled together, and a
riot took place, the law was violated, and such ap-
peared to have been the case as regarded the charges
in question. He had not had an opportunity of
reeking himself acquainted with all the dot ils of
these alleged outrages, end, indeed, had he done so,
he should not have considered it necessary to dwell
upon them before the grand jury. If they found, as
was alleged, that the persons charged had been en-
gaged in pulling down. and demolishing places of re-
ligious worship, then In that case the
persons who

Mr. HALL thought that this appeared a proper case
to Fend to a jury.

Mr. Bellamy- bEgged his worship to bear in mind
that there w_.s no evidence of the first halfcrown being
the same that the pri-oner tendered. It was not
marked at the time, but placed in the till among other
change—not by the witness, but one of the managers
of the bank.

Mr. HALL—If that is so, then the prosecution cer-
tainly fails.
The prosecutor—But if that fails with respect to the
first halfcrowe, surely there is evidence enough to
conlitt him of tendering the second; for the coinwas
retained on the spot, and the prisoner giveninto
custody.
Mr. Bellamy contended that tbe prosecution in the
second case could not, be supported because there was
not the requisite evidence of a previous tendering or
of the prisoner's having other bad money in his pos-
session.
The prosecutor—Why, I understand he has been
repeatedly in custody at this court for the same
offence.
Mr. HALL—Very likely, bat we cannot place that
fact upon the depositions. It might be stated to the
judge after the trial, but no one would be allowed to
go into the witness-box and tell the jury of these cir-
cumstances. You see, you are compelling us to let
the prisoner know the secrets of these things.
The prosecutor—l am afraid, Sir, that the " se-
crets" are already known too well from the facility
wbich they seem to afford for the commission of this
class of offences.

Mr. HALL—I cannot detain the prisoner on this
evidence.

The prosecutor—Then what is the use of giving a
man into custody for passing bad money?
Mr. HALL—The prisoner is discharged.
MAR YL E II ONE.
John Bollingched was charged with having stolen
a quantity of saver plate, value 130/,, the property of
his master, Mr. James Tilyer Blunt, of 3, Dorset-
square.
Prosecutor, on being sworn, said—The prisoner
has lived with me as footman, and as I was about to
leave town I was anxious to look over the plate, and
proposed that I should do so last Thursday. At the
prisoner's request I postponed it until
going home, I

the afternoon of which day, upon my
ascertained that the prisoner had absconded. I imme-
diately went to the plate chest and missed therefrom
a great deal of the valuable property which it had
contained, and upon making the discovery of my loss
I gave information to the police.
Mr. BROUGHTON (to the prisoner)—Have you
any question to put to your master ? Prisoner—l
hope he will forgive me as far as he can. I intended
to have got the articles our again as soon as I could.
Sergeant Kelly, 8 T—At six yesterday evening I
was on duty at Brook-green, Hammersmith, when
the prisoner told me that he wanted to give himself
up for pledging Mr. Blunt's plate, at the same time
alleging that he was very sorry for what he had done.
He had with him a woman whom he said was his
wife. I told him that the plate was valued at 1301.
He made no observation upon my mentioning that,

and I conveyed him in a cab to the Molyneux station
(D nivi6ion), where he was locked up.
Sergoaut Bushell, 9 D, produced no f,wor than 43
duplicates relating to the property which had been
pledged.

with the View to the Correction of
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility- of the
Generative System, or Sexual llypochrondrlasis. Translated fromli-
the German of Dr. PICKFORD, of the University of Heidelberg,
—" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent prac g.
li
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the_fi):t..l-!.
time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he weal
shall
detect any other equally flagrani; evil which it may be in his
power to correct."—London Me dical Gazette. May pp, 1851,
—" The editor has conferred a gre,,t boon on the sufferers from this
distressing malady by translating, ti lis little book, and by laying bare
the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who
cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object
than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Sperms.
torrhma and the various forms or disease which resemble it are
accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the
treatment of the malady "Me dical Circular, May 5, 1852.
—" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary
chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of
the subject spatially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate
price at which the ' brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of
every one Interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April
8,1852.

CHRONICLE.—The grave misunderstanding be-
tween this country and the United States, to which
the question of the American fisheries has given rise
—and which appears, from our latest Transatlansic in-
telligence, to be daily growing more serious—will go
a long way to dispel any amiable prejudices which
enthusiastic persons may entertain in favour of im-
provising Secretaries of State. Sir John Pakington
and Lord Malmesbury have contrived, by their ig-
norance and folly, to blunder into a position in which
it is impossible for them either to advance with jus-
tice, or to retreat with honour. Brilliant ability and
shining eloquence may, perhaps, be dispensed with
in the chiefs of the Executive departments; but the
very least which can be expected of men charged
with the interests of a great empire, is an average
share of information and a moderate amount of com-
mon sense. The Secretaries for the Colonies and
for Foreign Affairs have shown, however, that they
have not acquired the former, and that Nature never
gifted them with the latter. The state of the case is
shortly as follows. The Colonial Legislatures have at
various times sought to foster their fisheries by the
.truly Protectionist system of bounties, but the two Ca-
binets which preceded Lord Derby's Administration
refused to sanction the adoption of a policy which they
held to be radically mischievous. No sooner, how-
ever, were the present Government in office than they
hastened
to promote in the colonies that commercial
system which they make a merit of having abandoned
at home. Sir John Pakington is like some Highland
laird

the prejudice in favour of trousers, butw_wl'ho o:oon!!

carried on," he has most unnecessarily
real object of the Government in their departurerye
from the policy of their predecessors. The above
sentence is evidently inspired by Mr. Disraeli's for-
mula, that it is " impossible to fight hostile tariffs
withfree imports." The notable project of the Pro •
tectionist Secretary of the Colonies is to establish
reciprocity by aggression, and to coax the Americans
into giving us more than we possess by taking from
them advantages which they already enjoy. Not
content with endorsing the Colonial Legislatures'
project of bounties, the Government have taken
active steps to ensure to the colonists a monopoly of
the fisheries by sending an armed force against their
competitors. Even if we judge the conduct of Mi-
nisters from their own view of what is expedient,
they might at least have known that the Americans
are about the last people in the world from whom
anything is to be obtained by bluster and bullying.
There are no two countries in which national jealousies
take fire so quickly, or rage so fiercely, on questions
of foreign politics, as in England and the United
States. In Russia or Austria, the policy of the
country is the policy of the Minister ; but
among ourselves and our Transatlantic cousins the
popular feeling is keenly alive, and exercises a poten-
tial voice in all questions affecting the foreign rela-
tions of the two nations. We shall not be understood
as objecting to a bold and uncompromising assertion
of just rights, or a courageous vindication of the
national honour whenever it is really at stake. But,
in dealing with a free people like the Americans, it is
above all things necessary that, before a claim is pre-
ferred—and, much more, before any attempt is made
to enforce it—its exigency and validity should be
clearly ascertained and established. It appears,
however, that Lord Malmesbury has proceeded to the
extreme measure of seizing American vessels, on
grounds which are totally inadequate to justify such
a step. It is impossible to contemplate without pain-
ful uneasiness the consequences of so rash and foolish
an exploit. The Government, in their extreme anxiety
to promote an exploded commercial system, have
raked up an old treaty of the year 1818, by which it
appears that American vessels were forbidden to fish
within three miles of the British colonial coast.
If a mere custom had grown up inconsis-
tent with the stipulations of that treaty, it might
surely have been a question whether it was desirable
to insist upon a prohibition which had practically be-
come obsolete, and the revival of which would conse-
quently amount to something like an act of aggres-
sion. But at all events, if it were deemed necessary
to enforce the strict letter of the convention of 1818,
the least that the Americans had a right to expect
was a timely notice and a courteous intimation. In-
stead of this, the letter of Sir Jobn Pakington, an-
nouncing the withdrawal of privileges which long
enjoyment had invested with a quasi-legitimacy, was
conceived in terms unnecessarily offensive, and has

tary will no doubt allege that he had no knowledge
of Lord Aberdeen's negotiations with the American
Government—just as he pleaded, in the case of Mr.
Mather, that he had dispatched his instructions with-
out reading Mr. Searlettia dispatches. Lord Malmes-
bury's ignorance would have been an exceedingly
good reason for not making him Secretary of state ;

The clearances from the port of London for the
gold colonies of Australia during the past week show an in-
crease. They consisted of seven ships to Port Philip, of an
aggregate capacity of 3,003 tons (besides an East Indiaman
of 1,292 tons, freighted in part for that oniony), and of four
ships to Sydney of 2,048 tons, exclusive of the mail-
steamer Sydney. There was also one vessel of 835 tons to
Adelaide, South Australia.
.T.he exports of manufactured
goods, as well as of wines,
spirits, and tobacco, were again
large, although emigrants at present constitute the chief por-
tion of Australian cargoes, the number of these for the week
having probably been from 1,200 to 1,500. Among the
miscellaneous exports were two rather large consignme4t4 of
1 hops.
