party who had charge of the premises, it ~,!..,17.13ened by
slight examination they had been entered and plundered of watchec'nd that
a considerable amount. A 2, 'e, to
slightesticrn of the
place showed that not the
_precaution had been
taken in securing it from the attack of thieves, Apps..
rently the entrance had been effected by one of the bur-
glars mounting the shoulders of the other and getting
on to the coping over the shop front. Accomplishing
that, little difficulty would be experienced in walking
along to the window in Arthur-street ; the window and a
kind of wire blind offered but little obstacle to obtaining
admittance. Being prepared with lucifers, a light was
quickly obtained, and a selection of the more valuable
portion of the stock commenced. The circumstances
which led to the apprehension of the prisoner are these:—
City police-officer, 556, said that on Thursday morn-
ing between half-past one and two o'clock, he saw the
prusoner standing on the curb of Arthur-street East,

and by the side of a cab which was drawh up to the
pavement. He took the precaution of taking his num-
ber, and then desired him to drive off. Accompanied by
a man, the prisoner jumped on the box and drove away.
Webb, the detective officer, deposed that by knowing
the number of the cab, he was enabled to trace the pri-
soner to his lodgings in the Old Kent-road, where he
found him in bed asleep. The prisoner admitted that he
was the man who drove the cab, but he knew nothing
of any one else ; he had had a drop too much.
The Lord Mayor said the circumstances were suffi-
cient to justify him in remanding the prisoner until
Monday (this day).
The value of the property stolen amounts to nearly
1,700/.

BOW-STREET.—Mr. W. Goode, a tobacconist, of
199, Strand, and Ludgate-hill, was summoned before
Mr. Henry, charged with having exhibited for sale in
his shop window, a pipe, upon which therewas an inde-
cent illustration.
Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, appeared to conduct the
prosecution on the part of the Society for the Suppres-
sion of Vice, and stated that for some time past the at-
tention of the officers of the society had been frequently
directed to the indecent and disgusting pictures which
were displayed upon the pipes, snuff-boxes, &c., in the
shop-windows of many of the apparently respectable
tobacconists in the metropolis. In one of the defen-
dant's windows a pipe was exposed to view in a con-
spicuous place, upon which were painted the figures of
Leda and the Swan, with a degree of boldness and ob-
scenity which was calculated to disgust every decent
passer by. Mr. Pritchard, the secretary of the society,
caused a letter to be addressed to Mr. Goode, requesting
him to withdraw the offensive article from his window,
or proceedings would be taken against him. No notice
whatever was taken of the communication, and the pipes
continued to be exhibited.

Mr. Lewis, the attorney who attended for the defence,
begged to be permitted to state, before the case was fur-
ther proceeded with, that his client, immediately on the
receipt of the letter alluded to, had written to the secre-
tary of the society, explaining to him why the pipe was
not instantly withdrawn. He had directed his shopman
to remove all articles of an indelicate nature, and he was
not aware until the arrival of the summons that his
orders had not been obeyed, the shopman having placed
the offending pipe at the back of the window, instead of
taking it away altogether.
Mr. Clarkson said a letter had certainly been received
by Mr. Pritchard, after the summons had been issued, in
which Mr. Goode promised to discontinue the sale of the
Leda, but he ought to have answered the first communi-
cation, and then the pledge would have looked more
sincere.

Evidence having been given of the purchase of the pipe
by one of the society's agents, who gave 2/. 10s. for it,
Mr. Lewis offered two grounds of defence. He said his
client was quite willing to return his stock of the Leda and
the Swan pipes to the consignor in Vienna, and, secondly,
that the picture itself was not more indecent than other
illustrations of the same incident in heathen mythology,
which were openly exhibited at the British Museum and
other exhibitions of works of art. He contended that
the copies of the Greek Slave and the Venus would be
open to the same objection. However, if his worship
considered that the picture in question came under the
sth of Geo. IV., c. 83, Mr. Goode would bow to the
decision, and give an undertaking that he would never
expose another of the kind for sale in either of his shops.
Mr. Henry had no hesitation in saying that the expo-
sure of these pipes openly in shop windows was obscene
and disgusting in the extreme, and if called upon to do
so, he was quite prepared to convict the defendant.
Mr. Lewis submitted that his client having at once
removed the pipe from his Ludgate-hill establishment,
and the promise to discontinue the sale of it, were
grounds for the withdrawal of the prosecution.
Mr. Clarkson said the society would not press for
judgment if security were given for the future.
Mr. Henry said he would adjourn the summons for
two months, and if during that time anything of an in-
decent nature was found in the defendant's shop he
would commit him to prison for three months.
Mr. William °Mara, another tobacconist, of 425,
New Oxford-street, was charged with having exhibited
an indecent ivory figure made to serve as a tobacco-
st Jpper. .

LI this case it was proved that one of the society's
agents purchased the article complained of, which was
the representation of a female in a state bordering on
nudity, having on only a collegian's cap and gown, the
latter being thrown back in a manner, which at once
suggested gross indecency.
Mr. Lewis set up a similar defence as in the last case.
Mr. Henry said it was absurd and idle to compare such
indecent productions, which were especially intended to
be offensive, with such works of art as Power' s Greek
Slave, and others which were rather suggestive of mo-
desty than the reverse. It was a mistake to suppose
that nakedness was the test of indecency. But it was
neither necessary nor convenient to define the limits of
such things in a crowded court ; but every right-minded
person needed not to be told the distinction between a
,graceful and beautiful statue and a figure designed by
its attire and attitude for an offensive purpose. He
should grant the same indulgence in this case as the last
but with the same punishment if the offence were re-
peated—viz., three months imprisonment.
After some further discussion, Mr. Goode was ordered
to pay 51. 55., and 2/. 10s. the price of the pipes ; and
Mr. Oldburn was adjudged to pay Si. ss. Both the de-

BRISTOL NEW DOCKS.

It is a great fact. Who can deny it ? The
notices are out, and the plans will be in by the re-
quired time for the gigantic Ocean Steam Dock.
This is business.

Engineers, one of whom is characterised par
excellence, by his striking development of the power
of perception, have almost inundated us, first and
last, with schemes of high and low water, floating
and other piers, which have all ended, after no
small quantum of valuable time, and. no insig-
nificant amount of money have been wasted,
in the total discomfiture of the citizens, and in
proving that such projects would not float on the
abiding waters of commercial confidence.
The Great Architect of nature has roughed out
the locality, for art to finish, in such an unmis-
takeable form that the most Ordinary mental
capacity may perceive it. Nay, more—nature had
only to be interpreted, and the future prospects of
King-road were echoed in welcome accents from
Clifton heights to the monetary plains of the great
metropolis—
" Let there be a Dock."

MARLBOROUGH.STREET.—Count Henry Ich,err
Thoss was charged before Mr. Hardwick with- obtaining
money under fraudulent pretences from Mr. Samuel
Webb, music seller, 33, Soho-square. The prisoner was
at this court a few weeks ago upon a similar charge. It
appeared, from Mr. Webb's evidence, that the prisoner
was introduced to him about the sth instant 10 a Mr.
Bo wdry, who said he wanted to purchase a piano. The
prisoner did purchase a piano, which was to be paid for
in cash, but he gave a bill for 471. ss. at two months '
instead. A few days after this, he called at Mr. Webb's
shop, and said he wanted some cash, as he had been
playing at cards with some noblemen, and had been very
unfortunate. The prisoner said he had plenty of security
to give to anybody who would advance money. Prisoner
then opened his pocket book, and showed a number of
Austrian papers with stamps on them, which he said
were worth 2001. each, and that his bankers would rea-
dily advance 1601. on each of the bonds as a security,
and pressed witness to let him have some cash on
these securities. He told him he was not a money
lender, and having no more money than he required
for his own business, he could not accommodate
him. He told him that his (witness's) cousins in
the City, Messrs. Venn and Sons, notaries would know
the value of the papers, and if prisoner woulli call on
Monday, he would endeavour to see them and learn what
they would advance on them ; and he asked prisoner to
let him have one of the papers to show them. Prisoner
declined to do so, but he gave witness a memorandum of
them, and said he could inquire what was the value of
such property. Witness was prevented going into the
City as he had intended, and on the following Monday
prisoner called, and witness was chagrined at not having
performed his promise, and told him so. He said,
" Have you any cash in the house I" Witness told him
he had not ; but he pressed witness very much to lend
him 301. on the paper produced, which, ho said, was an
Austrian bond, and that witness could get 1601. upon it
by going to No. 5, Angel-court, City, to his bankers. He
left the paper, and witness advanced him five sovereigns,
, and gave him a cheque for 251. on the Commercial Bank.
Prisoner two days afterwards called and said he wanted
10/. more, which he advanced him. He said the security
was so valuable that witness need be under no apprehen-
sion of sustaining any loss. When witness gave him the
last sum, he asked him to give him a memorandum to
the effect that witness would give up the alleged bond
when he paid the money on the following Saturday.
Witness did so, but on making inquiries afterwards he
ascertained that the alleged bond was worthless. It was
upon the faith of the prisoner's representations that he
advanced him the money.
It was proved that on inquiry m Angel-court, the
answer was that the bond was quite valueless, and the
same answer was returned at Messrs. Rothschild's.
Mr. Lewis, who attended for the prisoner, said there
was not sufficient evidence to sustain the charge.
Mr. Hardwick, however, remanded him to Tuesday
next without bail.

Mr. Rendel says in the concluding words of his
able report, " the scheme is of national, no less
than of commercial importance ;" but we say more,
it is not this city, or county, or kingdom, or even
empire, that the works specially concern. Such is
the comprehensive character of the interests it in-
chides, that if there be one at all paramount, it is
that rising empire beyond the distant western
horizon. To the United States, Bristol will then
be the Alexandria of Europe in her overland route;
for it is plain that most of the continental traffic to
New York and other important cities of the Union,
will pass vid Dover and Reading, and by the steam-
ers sailing from King-road.
Deep bedded in the smouldering strata of a
European political volcano there is a principle that,
sooner or later, will burst forth in, it may be,
frantic suicidal impetuosity. That principle is
despotism, and should it assume the shape of a
quadruple unholy alliance against us, its banner,
its first outburst, would only be a signal to every
city, town, and hamlet of that Republic, whose
people are of our race, speak the same tongue, and
hold the same faith, to send forth her sons as a
wave of freedom that, allied with England, will
submerge and utterlyidestroy the armies of what
has been sacrilegiously called the " divine right of
Kings."
We tell the Government that under such an
eventuality that in this channel, and at these
works, the liberating armies could best fraternize ;
hence the necessity of its most paternal con-
sideration.

CLERKENWELL.—CorneIin Loughlin, a smart,
genteel young man, was charged with robbing his em-
ployers, Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, the well-known
jewellers, of 26, Harrison-street, Gray's-inn-road.
Mr. Wakeling, the solicitor, was retained for the pro-
secution.

The prisoner and his father had worked several years
in the manufactory of the prosecutors, who had of late
been plundered to such an extent that they deemed it
prudent to seek the advice of Sergeant Smith, the detec-
tive officer of the E division, and that officer took the
prisoner into custody, with 53 oz. and 10 pennyweights
of silver in his possession, belonging to Messrs. Hunt
and Roskell, as he was leaving their premises. The
accused at once voluntarily and freely confessed his
guilt, admitting that he alone was implicated in
the robberies on the firm recently, and that the
silver he had stolen he had sold to Mr. Holmes, of 301,
High Holborn, the last sale being to the amount of Si.
There were, however, some very remarkable features in
the affair, which Mr. Holmes was bound to explain, the
prisoner asserting that, on one occasion, he received only
12s. 6d. for 8 oz. of silver, worth 58. 3d per ounce, and
at another time Is. 6d. for 44 oz. of the same metal.
The silver found on the prisoner was produced. There
was one ingot—the rest was from one inch to four inches

in size.
Mr. Holmes was examined—He said he had made
purchases of silver from the prisoner to the amount of
about 251., and he paid him at the rate of 45., 4s. 3d.,
and 4s. 6d. an ounce, and never less.
Mr. Ty rwhitt severely censured him from buying at
all from such a young man. It was an awfully danger-
ous facility to work the destruction of youth, and he
must say that Mr. Holmes did not stand in an enviable
situation.

Mr. Wakeling observed that there were many circum-
stances yet to be considered before the prisoner was
finally committed, and he prayed that he be remanded.
Mr. Tyrwhitt agreed, and ordered the prisoner to
stand committed on the charge, and to be brought be-
fore him again next week.
The unfortunate young man seemed to feel very
acutely his degraded position.

SALT IN IRELAND.—A company is about being formed
in Belfast, with a capital of 50,0001., to work the salt
mines which have been discovered on the Marquis of
Downsbire's estate at Duncrue. In connexion with the
preparation of the salt for commerce, chemical works are
to .be established, which will enable the company not
only to supply manufacturers with bleeching materials,
quantities to other countries.
but to export them in large

The engineer at the head of the new dock scheme
is not a man given to vain boasting ; his position is
already so high that another's mantle would do him
no honour. The difference between the past en-
gineer of Bristol docks, and the present engineer of
the new scheme, is simply this, that while the
former was known to Bristol as the originator of
'piers as opposed to docks, the latter does not lay
claim to either. We venture to affirm that when
this Dock Bill is law, the language of the engineer
of the Admiralty will be in the like spirit as that
in which Peel concluded his great speech after the
passing of the Corn Law Bill, and, like that great
man, Mr. Rendel will announce that it is not to
the gentleman at the bead of the engineering staff
of the Great Western Railway Company, nor to
himself, that the honour is clue of carrying through
all its vicissitudes the great work, but to the un-
tiring energy, the unassuming action, and the quiet
eloquence of such men as William Patterson.—

CHEESE.—The manufacture of cheese on the English
neo
system has been recently introduced into the county of
Dublin, and is gradually extending. On an extensiv
farm, purchased by Mr. Dargan, the railway contractor,
at Mosstown, in the county of Westmeath, and rented
by a Cheshire farmer, cheese of prime quality is w
produced. The experiment has also been tried with
success in some other counties, although as yet upon a

were received at the Limerick post-office, with sums
ranging from 501. to 5001. The writers in almost all
cases gave the most encouraging accounts of the pros-
pects in this colony, and held out strong inducements to
their friends to join them. The American remittances,
although of immense amount in the aggregate, have ge-
nerally consisted of small sums, averaging from 31. to 201.

AN IRISH TRAGEDY.

A dreadful occurrence took place on Wednesday, near
Celbridge, when a notorious and most desperate cha-
racter, named Philip Smith, met his death under the
following awful circumstances :—lt appeared that on the
12th of October last, Smith had planned the robbery, and
broken into the house of a gentleman resident near
Clonee, in this county. A. party of the Clonee consta-
bulary, however, succeeded in apprehending him on the
occasion. He was handcuffed heavily, after a desperate
resistance, and taken by them to their barrack at Clonee
for the night ; but at an early hour on the following
morning, the 13th, he contrived to effect his escape,
manacled as he was. The constabulary were in imme-
diate and active pursuit. He was traced to Blanchards-
town, and there it was ascertained that he had turned
off in the direction of Swords. For the time, how-
ever, further trace of him was lost. A horrifying coin-
cidence as to date and place here presents itself. It may
)e in the recollection of our readers that it was upon the
tight of the 13th ult., within two miles of Swords, that
the illfated Smiths, brother and sistar, were brutally
nurdered in their dwelling on Mr. Mangan's farm, and
tlat since that period no clue whatever has been disco-
vered to lead to the detection of the perpetrator of the
crime. After his escape from the police barrack, the
first time the constabulary, we understand, became cog-
nizant of his whereabouts, was towards the middle of
the present month, when there was reason to suppose
Ithat he was lurking in the neighbourhood of Celbridge.
Close but ineffectual search was made for him until the
18th inst., when, while Constable Richard Stafford, of
that station, was conveying a prisoner named Thomas
Reilly, arrested under a warrant, to the station-house,
Smith suddenly appeared from behind a ditch, rushed on
the constable, and discharged two shots at him, both of
which took effect, dangerously wounding him in the
neck. Since that the constabulary of the district have
been unceasing in their exertions to effect his capture.
On the afternoon of Wednesday, as a party, consisting
of four men of the force, were on day patrol in the
neighbourhood, they applied at a house for admission,
but were refused, and were about to enforce their de-
nand for entrance when Smith rushed out, bearing in
me hand a double-barreled pistol, in the other a blun-
derbuss. The police at once challenged him to surrender
iimself their prisoner. He answered No ; that before
they could take him he was sure of taking one of their
Ives at least. As he said this he raised one of the
pieces with which he was armed, and was in the act of
(ring, when one of the police discharged his carabine at
him with, as it proved, fatal effect. Almost at the some
instant Sub-Constable John Waldron received the con-
tents of Smith's pistol or blunderbuss in the mouth,
which, with one of his jaws, was dreadfully shattered,
the wound intlicted on him being altogether of a very
serious character. The criminal was raised and removed
from the spot in a dying state. He had been hit in one
of the thighs or knee, and before timely appliance could
be procured to stop the effusion, he expired from loss of
bbod.—Dublin Freeman.

STATI OF THE WOOLLEN MARKETS.

Dutch Rhenish •• ........

LEEDS, Friday, Nov. 26.—The imports of wool into
London during the week ending to-day were 8,307 bales,
of which 3,195 were from Sydney, 1,642 from Port
Phillip, 1,285 from the Cape of Good Hope, 1,264 from
Russia, 354 from Alexandria, and the rest from Morocco,
&c. The demand for foreign wool continues good for
nearly all descriptions, and chiefly for the supply of
present wants. The rates current at the last London
sales are steadily supported. In the English wool mar-
ket there has been a fair amount of business done in sales
of wool this week, and prices are very firm at last
week's rates. In the Liverpool wool market there
is a good demand, but not much business, in conse-
quence of limited supplies. Prices firm. Imports dur-
ing the past week-243 Lima, 110 Lisbon, 476 East
India, 104 Cronstadt, 97 Antwerp, 17 Naples, 115 Egyp-
tian. In woollens, we have no change to report in the state
of the woollen cloth market this week ; about an usual
amount of business has been done. In the Coloured
Cloth-hall, the market was rather flat, both on Saturday
and Tuesday, but in the White Market, there was con-
siderable activity, especially on Tuesday, and a good bu-
siness was done. But the quantity of cloth that changes
hands in the market only represents about a moiety of
the trade that is doing in balk cloths, as there are con-
stantly very large deliveries taking place direct at the
merchants' warehouses. As is usual at this period of the
year, the business doing at the warehouses is of a very
limited character, mostly to order for sorting up
with. In the worsted market there has been a fair
amount of business doing, and the trade keeps up
well for the time of year. The price of raw material is
so disproportionately high, that there is an inevitable
tendency uptvards in the price of yarns and pieces.
HALIFAX MARKET.—There is no noticeable variation in
either the piece or yarn market since our last report. In
the wool trade sales have been moderately active, and the
recently quoted advance fully supported. Prices both
of middle wethers and common noils with broke, are
a shade dearer than cited this day fortnight.
LElCESTER.—Manufacturers are working up the stock
of yarns on hand, and are very careful in making pur-
chases at the advanced rates required by the spinners.
Shipping orders are approaching completion, and the
home demand becomes more contracted as Christmas
gets nearer. There is still a large demand in the fancy
hosiery branch, and generally more is doing than usual
at this period of the year. Worsted yarns are fiat, and
spinners cannot accept orders without an advance ;
they, however, hold with confidence, as they cannot at
the present prices required for wools replace their stocks
to advantage. Cotton yarns are scarce in the market,
and even at the recent advance* enough is not in the
market to supply the demand. Several hosiers are now
altering their workmen from worsted to cotton for the
approaching season. Wools are firm, but the spinners
being supplied for the present, the market is quiet.

MlNES.—Although the business transacted during the
week has not been to any considerable extent, still it is
satisfactory, when we take into account the time of year,
and we anticipate a larger extent of business as soon
as the January dividends become payable. Bedford
United have advanced 91 ss. ; Carn Brea to 851., East
Wheal Crofty to 651., Levant to 1691., South Francis
to 1871., West Providence to 561., and Wheal Basset
to 525/. Alfred Consols, Par Consols, Con-
durrow, Devon Great Consols, East Wheal Rose, Great
Polgooth, South Tamar, South Tolgus, Trehane, United
Mines, Wheal Golden, and Tremayne maintain their
prices. Balnoon, Bosom, Sidney Godolphin, West Ding
Dong, West Fanny, and Wheal Catherine, have ad-
vanced in price. In other shares the market is retro-
grading, there being more sellers than buyers.—ln Corn-
wall, East Wheal Rose has been sold for 2901. ; North
Pool, 2391. ; South Tolgus, 2001. ; United Mines, 3801.
for 1-400th share ; Wheal Reeth, 561. ; Balnoon Con-
sols, 51. 7s. 6d. ; and Sidney Godolphin, Si. 7s- 6d.
In the Metal Market, Lead is in such extensive de-
mand that higher rates are confidently expected ; the
supply is short, owing to the water being in several of
the mines. Although no advance has taken place in
Tin or Copper, the smelters are not willing to take or-
ders at present rates, and in copper we hear of sales at is
per lb. From South Australia, 1,020 tons have arrived
at, Swansea. Tin-Plates have advanced to 26s per box
for coke, the demand being more than the makers can
supply. There is an attempt making to cause the aban-
donment of the 61. per ton duty on the importation of
Banca and Straits Tin, and this will, no doubt, come
before the houses of Parliament during the present ses-
sion. Bar Iron maintains its upward tendency. Rails
have advanced ; a large contract having been concluded
at 8/. 55., free on board, in Wales, and the price now
asked is 8/ 108 Scotch Pig is 59s per ton. Spelter is
stationary.

CASTLE AVON, by the author of " EMILIA WYNDHAM."
—The popular author of " Emilia Wyndham" has just
produced a new work of fiction, which, while retaining
the truthfulness and pathos which formed the charm of
that admirable narrative, aims at a higher range of cha-
racters, coupled with incidents of a more romantic na-
ture. Such is " Castle Avon," the last work of this
favourite writer • and in the character of Lady Aylmer
the reader will find a source of interest as deep as any
he has ever drawn upon, while in the fashionable Mrs.
Gorhambury, the aristocratic Lady Marion, the impul-
sive Philip Gorhambury, and his unprincipled father, he
will recognise the extraordinary talent in pourtraying
human nature in its most striking aspects that has so
frequently exercised its salutary influence over him.
NEW RAILWAY SCHEME. Another new railway
scheme has been announced, under the title of the
"Tynemouth Dock, and Morpeth and Shields Direct
Railway Company," with a capital of 300,000/., of which
it is stated, 120,0001. has already been taken up. The
object is the formation of deep water docks for the ac-
commodation of the trade of the river Tyne, which up
to this time has been deprived of this advantage; and of
a railway to run to Morpeth, a distance of 15 miles,
with a short branch to the Duke of Portland's coal field.
A large portion of the company's profits is expected to
be derived from the coal traffic, offers of which, to a con-
siderable extent, have already been made. The en-
gineers are Messrs. Locke and Herrington, and the di-
rectors state that eminent contractors have offered to
lease the railway and docks for 14 years from the com-
pletion of the works, at a minimum rent of 5 per cent.
per annum, with half profits beyond this rate. This offer
is to be submitted to the shareholders within four months
from the passing of the company's act.
COST OF PROCEEDINGS IN LIINAOY.—A return has
been printed by order of the House of Lords respecting
the cost in lunacy matters. For a commission the fees
and charges usually amount to 61. 10s. 2d. It is added,
" the cost of the commission, independent of the fees and
charges, and stamp duty above referred to, varies with
the circumstances of the case." This variation applies
to all other fees and charges. The fees of a grant of
custody are 171. 4s. 4d. ; for repairs, 11/. Bs. 2d. ; for a
lease, 11/. 6s. 10d.; for a new committee, 251. 14s. ; for
varying maintenance, 171. Os. Bd. ; and for opeiing and
depositing a will, 61. 7s. 6d. Since the act of 1842, the
isquiry under a commission has lasted more than one
day in 20 cases, and more than two days in 50 cases.
THE WEST INDIAN COLONIES.—A bill in the House
of Commons, brought forward by the Colonial Secretary,
has been printed, to amend the act 11th and 12th Vict.
c. 120, by which the interest on loans not exceeding
500,000/., for colonial purposes, was guaranteed. It
seems that doubts have arisen whether the money raised
by such loans can be applied to the conveyance back to
India, China, or Africa, of free labourers introduced
into the colonies. It is therefore proposed to enact that
the Government loans may be charged with the expense
of conveying back such free labourers as may be intro-
duced into the colonies mentioned.
CRIMINAL INFORMATIONS.—The law of criminal in-
formation seems as variable as the temperature of the
English climate. Sometimes it rises up to a high degree
of heat, and anon it drops down to a freezing point.
Yet no practice of a court of justice should be subject to
such variations. Justice, says the Institutes, is the
constant and perpetual will to render to each one what
belongs to him. But what is constant and perpetual
cannot be subject to change ; and the perpetual change
of a course of conduct in the forms and practice of ren-
dering justice must affect the principles of justice itself.
How can men feel themselves confident as to the law by
which they are governed, when the rule of law, or the
application of it, is subject to the most capricious varia-
tions 1---Bell'e Life.
THE WET WEATHER.--It is reported that of the 33
days from the 20th Oct. and the 21st Nov., both inclu-
sive, five only were free from wet; and the quantity of
rain which fell on the 28 wet days, as shown by the
rain-guage at the Devon and Exeter Institution, was
8.52 inches. In 32 wet days, from the Ist of October to
the present time, the quantity which fell was 10.401
inches. The average annual fall of rain in Devonshire
is from 30 to 32 inches; but 34.73 inches have already
fallen since the commencement of the present year, so
that we have already had more than an average allow-
ance.

-We have at length to report a decided change in the
aspect of the gold mining share market. The dealings
have been characterised by a great excitement, pur-
chasers having come forward with the greatest avidity,
and the consequence has been an extraordinary advance
in prices, extending throughout the entire market.
Amongst the shares that have attracted most attention
are the Nouveau Monde, Colonial Gold, Port Philip,
Agua Fria, Australasian, New Granda, and Yuba
River • but, as already stated, all descriptions are sen-
sibly better than for some time past. The immediate
cause of this rise is, of course, the receipt of such extra-
ordinary accounts from Australia, and the anticipation
of still more exciting details. The shares of the
Australian Agticultural Company, which have for some
time been steadily rising, to-day reached 1301. ; this is
owing to the report that large quantities of gold exist on
the estates of the association. It appears now evident
that several of these companies will make great returns,
and it would be hazardous to speculate on what may be
the result of the produce from the gold regions either in
Australia or California. The formation of associated
companies on the joint-stock principle is appreciated by
the colonists, who are forming associations to that end.
On Wednesday Noueau Mondes rose to 1/ prem., and
were done at 2 prem., and now remain steady at 11 to
14 prem. Colonial gold are firm at the same price,
and Port Phillip at the closing were at 1 to 14
premium. Carsons Creek and Australian Cordil-
leras are decidedly better, but the most marked improve-
ment has taken place in Australasian shares, which at 2/,
paid have been done at Si. prem. An announcement
has appeared from Mr. Sargent, stating that he has
given up all claims on Col. Frdmont's estate, and we may,
therefore, presume (providing the commissioners certify
that gentleman's title) that the mineral grants entered
into by Mr. Hoffman, must be considered valid. The
allotment of unissued shares to the proprietors of the
Anglo-Californian Mining Company will be made in the
oourse of the ensuing week, The directors, we are in-
formed, have received applications from the share-
holders to more than double the amount possible to be
issued. The directors can only, therefore,issue them pro
'atd, and it is to be hoped that this will be done fairly
and without umbrage to the several applicants. The
delivery of Anglo-Australian shares, independent of the
settlement, will take place on Monday, and from the
numerous applications a considerable rise is anticipated
in price ; this is not so much expected from the present
prospects of the company, but from the circumstance of
the great arrivals of gold, and the benefit of an asso-
ciated principle. The transactions on the Stock Ex-
change will be found in the usual place. The non-
official quotations are—Anglo-Australian, 4 to prem. ;
Veraguas, 1 toe prem. English and Australian Copper
Smelting shares have likewise experienced a rise this
week. It is the intention of the company, in addition to
their legitimate business, to commence buying gold, from
which they anticipate profitable results.
Shares in L Aigle d'Or Mining Company (Vr-
ginia) have already obtained a premium of from 4 to 4.
Business in miscellaneous shares is more active than
for many months past. Shares of the Austrian Agri-
cultural Company were done yesterday at 100, being a
rise of some 30 per cent. ; prices marked in the official list,
however, were only 76 and 75. This advance is
owing to its being understood that gold in considerable
quantities exists on the estates of this company. Bank
of Australasia shares haves been dealt in it at
714 ; Bank of British North America, 60 ;
English, Scottish and Australian Bank, 44 ; London
