SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

DONCASTER RACES.—FURTHER PARTICULARS_
DONCASTER, TUESDAY.—This, the day of all days, in the
estimation of a Yorkshireman, opened bright, mild, and " rac-
ing-like," as an old turfite expressed himself ; in reality, it was
all that the lovers of the sport could have wished, and the town,
as a consequence, was speedily on the qui vice. Gigs, coaches,
carts, and every kind of vehicle usually brought into play on
great occasions, rattled (literally) in from all quarters, the
majority of them being from Sheffield, which, as a sporting
place, takes the lead in this part of her Majesty's dominions.
Farmers on horseback, and labourers on foot, were net wanting
to choke up the avenues, and complete an ensemble which, want-
ing as it was in many of the attributes of a St. Leger day in
the olden time, was still one of uncommon interest and anima-
tion. The betting-room was the grand point with all classes ;
it was crowded in and out—inside with anxious speculatoi-s ;
outside, with a mob of gaping, wondering yokels and list-sellers.
The best order, however, prevailed, until about one o'clock.
when the move towards the race-course became general, and the
usual confusion prevailed; fortunately, neither carelessnes nor
bad driving led to any serious accidents, and by two o'clock the
streets were as quiet as if it had been Sunday morning, and the
New Police Bill in force here as well as in the metropolis. We
have often seen a fuller company than we found assembled on the
race-ground at the time appointed for the first race ; the stand,
too, has always boasted a better show of fashion ; but for this
falling-off it is not difficult to account, the nuisance arising from
the throng of betting-men gathered together in the centre of
the principal room, and the noisy progress of speculation on
the different events, is insufferable, and quite sufficient to deter
ladies from entering it. We trust that the Corporation, for
their own interests, if not for the comfort of those who do or
are willing to patronize their races, will take measures to pre-
vent any further complaints on the subject. Ascot and Good-
wood show how easily it can be done. In speaking of this de-
ficiency, we confine ourselves to sex and rank ; numerically
there was none, and that the old spirit has not quite evaporated
was proved by the appearance at the " Court end" of the bal-
cony of many families of high rank in the county, and whose
names have been associated with Doncaster in its most pros-
perous times. The minor stands were full, and the course was
in other respects so well " made up," that an unpractised eye
would have failed to discover that the St. Leger had lost much
if its wonted attraction.
Want of time, as well as of opportunity, renders it impossible
to give a complete list of those of " high degree" vac) honoured
the course with their presence this afternoon : the following
must, therefore, be taken as " on account," the balance to be
forthcoming towards the end of the week :
The Duke and Duchess of Cleveland, the Marquis of Tich-
field, the Marquis of Westminster, the Marquis of Normanby,
Earl Fitzkvilliam and family, the Earl of Scarborough, the Earl
of Lichfield, Count llarrack, the Earl of Harewood, &c.

After several fluctuations, the odds closed; at starting. at 6 to
4 on Charles XII; 6 to 1 agst Bloomsbury ; 10 to I agst Mal-
volio ; 13 to 1 agst Euclid ; 30 to 1 agst the Provost ; 35 to 1
agst Easingwold ; 40 to 1 agst The Lord Mayor - and 40 to 1
agst the Corsair. We did not bear Hyllus or Befits mentioned,
and the prices against all but the first four were little better
than nominal. At one moment 2to 1 was betted on Charles,
and Malvolio, at Bto 1, had the call of Bloomsbury. At 4
o'clock the horses appeared at the starting post, and, with one
slight failure, got off in excellent.style. After the first 200
yards, in which the jockies had enough to do to select and take
their places Charles took the lead at a rattling pace followed by
Bloomsbury, Bolus, Euclid (about fourth), he Dolphin, and
Malvolio; the ruck behind them consisting of Hyllus, The Cor-
sair, The Provost, Fitzambo, and The Lord Mayor, the Purity
colt and Dragsman bringing up the rear. At the foot of the
bill Dragoman and Easingwold were some lengths astern, and
the Purity colt, unable to live even with this valuable pair,
pulled up and returned. In the bottom, on the other side of
it, the renowned Bloomsbury cried " enough," and, with a
Bolus to cure his ailments, retired from the front rank. Eu-
clid now took the second place, The Dolphin lying third, and
Malvolio and the Provost next him, nearly abreast. They
ran in this order over the deep ground near the Red House
(the only part of the course that was heavy) and to the turn
into the straight run in. Here The Dolphin dropped off, and
Malvolio,took her place. About a distance and a half from home
Malvolio also gave up, leaving The Provost third in the race,
and so he continued to the end. Euclid now began to draw upon
the " great horse," but, as it is alleged, was driven so close
to the rails that lie never fairly collared him till they reached
the distance post. The race was now entirely between those
two—the " crack" Yorkshire nag versus the Newmarket
" pet," and a better or more intensely interesting- struggle was
never seen on the Doncaster course. Euclid appeared to have
the best of it at the commencement, but the "great" horse's
stride told towards the end, and the judge, unable to award the
victory to either, gave the first dead heat ever run for the St.
Leger. The Provost was beaten three or four lengths, and
defeated Malvolio by nearly two lengths. The Dolphin was
firth, Fitzambo sixth, and Bloomsbury seventh—all beaten off.
The others were tailed off a long way, Dragsman being the last
of the 13 that came home.
The betting on the next heat, which was run after the Four-
yr old Stakes, began at 6 to 4 en Charles, and finished at 6 to
son Euclid. The " little" horse took the lead at a bad pace
for the first three-quarters of a mile ; he then made it good,
still keeping his lead, the " great" horse waiting on him to the
distance, where he challenged. A slashing race ensued, the
North, triumphing over the South by a head only. Doncaster
never sate strch St. Leger racing before.

(WEDNESDAY EVENING.)
CHRONICLE.—The letters from Paris furnish every
reason to expect that the whole of the tills of the United
States Bank, refused acceptance by Messrs. Hotting,uer,
have by this time been liquidated, and Mr. Jaudon, in his
communication, speaks of being in London to-morrow. We
are still unacquahred with the origin of this strange
circumstance, and shall therefore refrain from comment,
more especially as a day or t►vo must put us in possession
of thr. facts.

Affairs generally, in the English Stock Market, pre-
sented a more favourable appearalice ; money was much
less in demand, and the greater part of the pressure which
was experienced yesterday has been removed.

run.

POST.--We mentioned in our City arCcle of Monday
that the London agent of the United States Bank, Mr.
J .udon, had proceeded to France, which wa, the fact,
and, from the great importance of the communications ob-
t 'fined that day both from Paris and Havre, the anxiety to
learn the result of his mission has been very great and also
very general in the city. Letters were received this morn-
ing from Mr. Jaudon, the contents of which are encourag-
ing. They state, we understand, that although no ar
rangerrient for giving currency to the bills drawn on the
firms of Hottinguer and Co. at the two places, sad
which were lying under protest for non-acceptance, had
yet been absolutely completed, considerable progress
had been made towards such a consummation. Of
this, we believe, there can he nn doubt—that what-
ever :a to be effected on behalf of the Bank of the United
States, through the intervention of an agent, will be
effected by the individual we have named. The tact and
good management displayed by Mr. Jaudon in his late ne-
gotiations in this country (for it is not with the house of
Hope and Co., of Amsterdam, alone that he has found
himself called upon to treat in relation to the post-notes of
the Phiiadelphia establishment) have been the admiration
of all those who were cognisant of what was passing. We
are the more ready to pay this compliment to the financial
address of Mr. Jaudon because, notwith.tanding the un-
doubted solvency of the concern for which he is acting, but
for his steady and judicious mode of procedure occurrences
might have taken place on this side of the Channel which
could not have failed to affect private confidence to a
very great extent in almost every branch of our com-
merce. The recent adoption of a system of steam
communication between England and the United States is
a fortunate thing for the Bank, the affairs of which have
got into this unpleasant predicament in Europe, inasmuch
as the steamer Liverpool, the departure
of which vessel
fur New York is fixed for Saturday next, will have re-

tiirce.l to Enolsnd Tom?: hour- tito bills lying over at
Paris and Havre can arrive at maturity. They are doubt-
less bills dr,swa at the usance of sixty day's sight. It is,
perhaps, hardly worth while to speculate on the eours
that will probably be taken by the President of the United
States Back, when he comes to hear of all that has hap-
pened, in order to extricate the institution from the existing
diflicultv. That there was much local pressure is shown
by the events of the last week, and there may be great dif-
ficulty in getting together in a moment the amount requi-
site to take up the bills drawn on Haire and Paris ; but we
dare say that with the co-operation of the minor banks, the
President of the United States Bank will contuse at
all events to send forward. in specie or otherwise, the
needful before the seven millions of francs become due.
The Great Western will next week be on tier way back to
England, and by her it is quite possible Messrs. Hottinguer
and Co. may be put in possession of a remittance of funds
sufficient to secure them against any contingent loss. The
object has been, as we have already stated, to provide for
the post-notes, &c., as far as might be practicable, by
transmissions of the precious metals. On the arrival of
Air. Jaudon at Paris, there is no question that he would
have been materially assisted in the execution of his plans
by the presence, advice, and influence of Mr. Hope, that
gentleman being still there, on his way back to Amster-
dam. We believe we are correct in stating that Messrs.
Hoti:nguer and Co. are the correspondents of Messrs
Hope and Co., as well as of the United States Bank, and,
if so, this may be considered a circumstance highly favour-
able to a satisfactory termination of the affair of the pro-
tested drafts.

There was nothing of consequence passing in the Eng.
ish Stock Market. Money was said to be easier.

for his deter.nined stand against the survellanee tk.
of the Bedchamber, by insisting th It he gladly seized
upon the opportunity thus afforded him of declining
the offer : He was afraid, forsooth, of the oppo-
sition which his Government would provoke in Ire-
land. This has been a difficulty which it has <
been the especial object of Lord Melbourne to in-
crease by every means in his power. With this
motive he desired Mr. O'Connell to get up the simu-
lated tranquillity of which so great boast has been
made ; and this is to be his Lordship's staff and
crutch in the hour of need. The Whigs will, we
are told, keep Ireland (which means that they
will cherish and support the predominant religion
of that country at the expense of that which they
are sworn to defend and uphold) ; they have in-
duced Mr. O'Connell to pass the word for a temporary
cessation from outrage ; but the instant the Tory (i. e.
the Protestant) interest is in the ascendant, Mr. Shiel
tells us that instead of diminishing the number of troops
in that unhappy country, :30,000 will be required to
keep the peace ! If the Tories came into office,' h
should vote that 30,000 soldiers would be necessary to
preserve the public peace! Such is the bugbear by
which it is attempted to deter the Conservatives, in the
event of a minority on the part of the Whigs in the
ensuing Parliament, from accepting office.'
The Morning Herald of this day, in the course of a
leading article on Lord Brougham's defence of himself',
prefixed to his recently published speeches, indulges in •
the following petulent diatribe against Ministers :
" Lord Melbourne and his colleagues do not preteEd to
possess any fair title to administer the affairs of the
country. They have long lost the confidence of the

they justify their retention of place ? On no merit of
their own—nor on any thing but on alleged demerit on
the part of their antagonists ! We,' they exclaim to
the Conservatives, may be distrusted by the country—
but so are you. You dare not take office.' Such is the
substance of all that the most thoroughgoing Whig hack
ever ventures to advance in support of the pretensions
of his patrons. \Vas ever Ministry before, reduced to
such a plight ?"
The Times comments in the following virulent strain on
Mr. Poulett Thomson's appointment to the Governor-
Generalship of Canada :—" Here is a seleetien which Lord
Melbourne does not venture to justify—which even Mr.
Edward Ellice is eager to disclaim—which is so dis-
tasteful, so obnoxious, so injurious to the whole of the
commercial and colonial interests, that all of them, with
one accord—proprietors, merchants, consignees, agents,
factors, every class, club, or section, concerned in, or
connected with, the soil, the trade, or the general
welfare of Canada, have petitioned, protested, re-
monstrated against it ; and the Government journals
exult, that, in the face of all these reclamations, the
Whigs contumaciously persist in their portentous ap-
pointment."
The Morning Chronicle, alluding to Mr. Shell's
speech on his reelection fur the county of Tipperary,
say', :—" Mr. Shell naturally alluded to his own accept-
ance of office ; and justified the associating with the
Government individuals enjoying the confidence of the
Irish people. He said he had no doubt that at the
opening of the next Session, Ministers would present to
their antagonists a force which rendered all the efforts of
their antagonists vain.' He dwelt on the successful re-
sult of Ministers in various great transactions, and he
placed in the foremost rank the termination of the civil
war in Spain. What man, who has the slightest regard for
the welfare of our species will not echo his congratula-
tions on the termination of a desolating warfare, by the
expulsion from the territory by a gallant people of the
monster who, by means abhorrent to all the usages of
civilization, sought to restore the reign of civil and spi-
ritual despotism ? The importance of this result may
be inferred from the howling of the Tory press. How
admirably their horror of Popery accords with their
sympathy with the slave of Popery in its worst form !
But, as was once observed by Mr. Shiel on another
occasion, it is only when Popery is disconnected with
despotism that it fails to obtain the sympathy of the
Tories."

The Morning Post thus attacks Ministers for not al
lowing their policy to be determined by " the sense of
the country," by which our Contemporary means, of
course, Toryism :—" All that we demand is that the
sense of the country should determine the policy of the
country ; that the preferences of Lords, Commons,
electors, and people in general, should be regarded by
the Court ; and that the powers of tie Monarchy should
be wielded with decent deference to these preferences,
so far as they appear to be the result of a deliberate
judgment. We complain that certain imbecile Whigs
set themselves against the deliberate and apparent pre-
ferences of the British people, and of the people of the
whole empire, save only the Romanists of Ireland. The
Whigs rely for governing the country upon certain per-
sonal predilections—certain Bedchamber partialities at
the Palace ; and they disregard the prevailing political
sentiment of all ranks and conditions of the people.
This is a monstrous grievance ; and we fear that if the
Whigs impudently presume to persevere in the infliction
of it upon the country, results very dangerous to the
monarchy, and very painful to all British patriots, must
be brought about as the inevitable consequence of such
perseverance."

CONSTITUENTS.

Sirt_With feelings of mingled pride and pleasure, we
embrace the present opi orte.nity to express our
high sats'action at your hay.u; been called upon to
tilt an important office in the Govelninent of the
country. In availing themselues of your great talents
and statesmanlike quallt.es, her Majesty's Ministers
nave only confirmed the cl,tke of all who have wattivd
your useful and brilliant career as a legislator. In
common with the people of the empire at large, we be-
hold in your elevation to the Treasury Bench an adoi-
tional assurance of the determination of Ministers to
r: more all tbuses, whether in Church or Stae, to
proceed fearlessly in the onward path of reform, and
to crappie boldly with the Tory oligarchy, which still
withhold from Ireland those rights and privileges to
which, as an integral po-tion of the empire. she is justly
entitled. Whilst we acknowledge the valuable support
which you have given to every measure of pract,cal
linpro%ement, vet with peculiar gr..tificr.m have we
marked yoor efforts in the welt cause (Y. Naticnal Edo-
cation. With th..it cause—thy' noieest wit ch can
occupy the attention of the philosophic sutesman—
your name is in'iissolubly linked ; and proud incle-d must
b the recollection that, instead of wasting the efforts of
your genius on s übjects of ephemeral importance, it was
your nobler aim to dispel the dark clouds of ignorance, and
in the spil it of enlightened legislation, to prepare the hu-
- man mind for still greater triun:phs than any it has yet
achieved. We appeal with confidenc.! to your late unop.
posed return (a circumstance for many years unexampled
in Waterford), as a satisfactory proof that your private
virtues and amiable qualities are duly al preciated by all
partd..s in your native city, and we entertain no dot.bt that,
as your access.o3 to office has been un: nimcusly haled, so
each succeeding year will add fresh claims to the respect
and admiration of your fellow-citizens.
Actuated by these feelings, we request the honour of
your company at a Public anncr, as a slight but sincere
mark of cur esteem and regard.
Signed on behalf of a Meeting of the Citizens

GENTLEMEN,—I receive your Address with cordial feel-

I consider the circumstances, under whiela 1: ls at present

In appointing Catholics to office, the Government have
done something more than merely conferring honours
upon individuals ; they have given st.nction and effect
to principles. The Emancipation Act was neve meant ,
to remain a dead letter in the Statute Book, but to live and i
work through all branches, administrative as well as legis- ii
lative of the country. In this sence, the Government
understand it : they are determined to make it a reality.
If Catholics should be excluded from office, merely
because they are Catholics, so also should they be I
excluded from Parliament. If from either, the
empire.

the gold and silver procured for the Spaniards did no
pass through Spain. Ferdinand the Catholic retained
so little of it that at his death scarcely enough was
found for the expenses of his funeral.
According to common opinion the mines of America
now yield but little. This is an erroneous notion. In
1837 the mines of Mexico still furnished the value of
twenty to twenty-two millions of piastres. Those of
Zacatecas alone yielded in each of the years elapsed,
between 1822 and 1833, the sum of between four and
five millions of piastres. Guanaxuato, it is true, Melds
now but a half of what that province former)), furnished.
In 1833, 1,144 mares of gold and 316;024 mares of
silver were drawn from those mines. At the beginning
of this century the production of silver was still of
755,000 mares. The production of gold has diminished
in the New World much more than that of silver, but
this diminution is not to be traced further than the
the revolution of the Spanish colonies. -.
On the other hand, new mines have been opened in
the Oural ; the following is, ziccordine- to the state-
ment communicated to M. de Humboldt by the Russian
Minister of Finances, what the gold mines of Siberia
have supplied, during the seven years they have been
wrought to the Mint of St. Petersburgh :

30 poods of gold which 'were extracted from the
ores of the Altai and the Nertchinsk ; so that Russia
in 1837, produced 46-" poods or 7,644 kilogrammes o
'
gold. This is an eightl 'ess only of the produce of the
Minas Geraes, in Brazils, pt. their most flourishin,, ye
riod, or from 1751 to 1761 ; it is a third less than -the
produce of the gold mines of Nev. Granada, Chili, and
Mexico, a short time previous to the revolution of the
Colonies. M. de Humboldt does not think that the
working of the Siberian mines his reached its maximum.
The Altai is, perhaps, what Herodotusdes'f,rnates as the
gold country.
In Siherilti masses of gold have been found beneath
the green turf covering the soil ; in ancient times pieces
even torn from the mountains by the water, may have
been found on the soil itself, and have given rise to the
fabulous accounts propagated on the subject. A proof
that of old gold circulated among the barbarous tribes
of Siberia is, that in the old tombs very heavy orna-
ments of that metal have been found, so much so that
tho extraction of all this gold from the tombs lowered
the value of the metal.
Another source has been opened in North America.

Sunday, most unexpectedly, was a beautiful morning,
and a dead calm—the very thing most desirable for the
Vernon, as, had it lasted, the power and effect of her
steam, independently of her sails, would have been beau-
tifully seen. As it was, at 8i A.M., when her steam was
up, she walked round her Majesty's ships the Blenheim
and Edinburgh, to the no small astonishment of the crew,
passing Col. Pasley's flotilla for exploding the wreck o
the Royal George ; and then, resuming her old position,
awaited the answer to her sailing signal for some persons
on shore to come on board. At 9{ A.M. a breeze
sprung up, and the Blenheim, the outermost of the line-
of-battle ships, in 9.0 minutes was under weigh, and was
soon ahead of the Edinburgh two miles. By 10 the
Edinburgh also got under weigh, with all her canvass
set. At 10i,- A.M., the Blenheim wai three miles, and
the Edinburgh at least one, ahead of the Vernon, when
the latter got under weigh, propelled entirely by her
steam, until 11 A.M., the new sails and ropes being so
hard and stiff that it was impossible with so small a crew
to unfurl and brace them up so quickly as desirable ;
indeed, they for some time positively impeded her. At
11 A.m., the Vernon felt her canvas, and immediately
made upon the ships of the line. At 111 A.M., the
Vernon, instead of bearing nine miles to leeward of the
Blenheim, as she certainly mast have been had it not been
for her steam, was half-a mile to the windward of her
Majesty's line-of-battle ship. The Vernon was now
rapidly closing upon the Edinburgh ; at seeing which
the Edinburgh, to avoid being passed, tacked and stood
in shore, the Blenheim and Vernon continuing on the
same course.

The utmost success having been now acquired by
the auxiliary power of the steam, Mr. Seward, who
manufactured the engines, and myself, left the Vernon,
giving her three cheers, which were heartily responded
to by Captain Denny, his officers, the passengers
(thirty-four in number), and crew, who were delighted
beyond measure with the performance of the ship ; and
in the highest spirits at the prospect of having the
shortest voyage ever made by sea to India, calculating
on reaching Calcutta in seventy days, touching for a day
or two at the Cape of Good Hope.
It may not be superfluous to observe that, at the
time the Vernon sailed, there could not have been less
than a hundred ships at Spithead and the Mother-bank,
some of them very large ones, not one of which ven-
tured to move out, the appearance of the weather was
so stormy, and the glass so very low.
The Vernon on her arrival at Portsmouth excited
the most lively interest, which was testified by the
number of boats that sailed immediately to Spithead
and went round her ; and by the number of respectable
gentlemen who asked permission to come on board.
Lord Durham in his yacht sailed close round her,
very attentively looking at her. Several other noble-
men's and gentlemen's yachts did the same.
On Thursday and Friday the Vernon was visited by
the following distinguished persons :—The naval Com-
mander-in-Chief of Portsmouth, Admiral the Hon.
Charles Elphinstone Fleming, accompanied by his flag-
lieutenant, Lieutenant Keating ; General Sir Hercules
Pakenham, Lieutenant-Governor of Portsmouth, accom-
panied by his Aide-de-camp, Lieutenant Pakenham ;
Rear-Admiral Sir Philip Bouverie ; Sir Thomas Hast-
ings, Royal Naval College ; Sir John Stuart Hips-
ley ; Colonel C. W. Pasley, Royal Engineers ; the
Superintendents of the Dock-yards, Captains William
Price Hamilton, Francis Price Blackwood, Robin-
son, Sir William Daniel, R. Barton, and Basil Hall, of
the Royal Navy ; Macke, Esq., mater builder, of
Portsmouth-yard ; Commander W. J. Williams, Royal
Naval College, now lecturing upon steam ; Lieutenant
Simmonds, Royal Engineers ; besides a great number
of military officers and gentlemen from Portsmouth and
the Isle of Wight, all of whom, after having minutely
inspected every part of the machinery of the Vernon,
expressed their highest admiration and approbation of
the ship, and universally admitted that she had clearly
established the important point of the practicability of
successfully applying steam power to sailing ships of the
largest class.—Letter from Captain White.

1) It. C A NNING.—As in many instances of men
of great intellectual endowment, Dr. Charming possesses
no physical :-uperrority in the ordinary sense over the ge-
neral condition of the race. He is rather below the usual
stature, and of a corresponding slender habit of body.
his complexion is sallow, with a profusion of light sandy
colon, ed ha*.r, slightly silvered by time, though by no.
means yielding quickly to the advancinr! foe. The upper
part of the head is finely expanded, though but of the or-
dinary proportion in siz,-; the eyes bright and concen-
trated ; and the general expression of countenance indica-
tive of decided habitual cautiousness iiordering on distrust,
such as long habits of study and abstraction never fail to
produce.
The under part of the face is the least classical
ar_d regular, the chin being short and slightly receding.
In manner, Dr. Charming partakes not a little of the cha-
racterktic coldness of his countrymen : nevertheless, there
is a perfect simplicity and unaffected plainness in his de-
meanour, which quickly dispels, and more than compen-
sates any disadvantage which may be felt to arise from this
cause. No trcce of the priestly theologian remains about
him. In every feature and lineament of mind the philoso.
pher and man of letters is indelibly impressed.—Letter in
the Scots Times.

THE LATE EXPLOSION AT THE DART-
FoRD Powinit-MILLa —A correspondent states that the
proprietors of these works have made an allowance to each
of the widows of the five unfortunate sufferers by the late
explosion of 12s. per week for life, with coals and potatoes
during the winter, besides defraying the funeral and other
expenses arising out of the accident. The wages of the
men were not 14s. or 15s. per week, as was recently stated,
but from 21i& to 28a. per week.
TURIN, AUG. 27.---His Majesty's disease (the-
stone) giving more and more uneasiness he is going to
take the waters of Evian, near the Lake of Geneva, which
are considered very beneficial in such cases. The King
will first make an excursion in Western Savoy, chiefly
with a view to seeing the curious wire bridge of La Caille,
which bears his name.

" Until, in the month of June 1836, we were attacked
in a traitorous manner by the Chief Maselikatse, while
we were then still at a distance of about forty hours on
horseback from his territory, and whereby several fa-
milies were barbarously butchered, and deprived of all
their cattle,&c., which forced us to commence hostilities
against the said Chief, and to endeavour to retake the
cattle which they had stolen from us ; for which purpose
we went out against him at two different times, and
have for the greater part obtained our views. The
Chief having afterwards been expelled, Mr. Piet Reteif,
approaching the boundaries of the Zoolas, made propo-
sals to the chief Dingaan for the purchase of a piece
of ground on the southern part of the river Togola
(which land was almost uninhabited), but after all ar-
rangements were brought to a point of agreement on the
most amicable and best terms, he was most barbarously
murdered, together with sixty of his companions,
children, and friends ; which was followed up a few days
after by the massacre of three hundred and seventy
others, who, under the idea of peace and friendship,
unguarded also, became the victims of his love for
murder, and were deprived of almost all their cattle."
This remarkable emigration was not completed, and
the emigrants settled, until after the expiration of two
years from their first setting out. - Port Natal and the
lands thereabout had been fixed upon froni the favour-
able reports of parties who had been in the first instance
despatched to view and report upon the most fertile and
otherwise advisable locality, so that the undertaking in
all its parts was commenced and carried through with no
less previous precaution than subsequent resolution.
During its progress and after the final completion of
their enterprise the local Government had taken every
means to discourage the emigrants, not only by
withholding any assistance and encouragement, but
by positive threats that they should not be allowed
possession of the new lands. A proclamation requiring
them to return was issued, to which no attention was
paid other than a silent perseverance first, and a direct
intimation in the end that nothing but the employment
of force should remove them. It appears by the last
accounts to have been concluded to leave them at peace,
and the farmers, freed from anxiety and confident, be-
cause so far separated from the reach of direct inter-
ference and the action of local authorities, which had
been found so hostile to their interests, had set to work
in earnest to create themselves a new country, which
would seem in many respects of soil and climate to be
superior to the one they have abandoned.
The following is the account given of their situation
at the latest dates :

" The farmers have not yet separated, but occupy
different parts of the country, in parties of 50, 60,
100, and some of 200 together. These places they call
camps, and those camps are on all sides surrounded by
poles to serve for entrenchments. We have visited al-
most all these places, and have found everywhere the
greatest harmony. Domestic religious service regularly
takes place, and every house-father performs in his
family the task of an instructor. It is, however, much
to be wished that some men of knowledge would settle
amongst them, that the education of youth may be
properly attended to. The whole people here anxiously
desire to have a proper clergyman, and intend at Bos-
jesmans Rand, the place where the colony is to be esta-
blished, to erect a church. While we were there a
subscription was opened for that purpose, and in less
than half an hour a sum of 3001. had been subscribed.

" The country at the Bosjesmans Rand, where they
intend to establish the colony, is an extensive beautiful
plain, of about four miles in extent, situate between two
rivers, the waters of which are now conducted through-
out the whole new colony. The name of the village, or
rather town, which they intend to establish, to be
called Pietermauritzburg. There are here about two
hundred warriors, with the exception of the young men,
women, and children. Every Sunday the clergyman,
Mr. Smit, holds regular religious service, and many
people from the other camps come to attend it. The
Sunday we were there the number attending was about
three hundred. This place is now the chief town. The
Government is still the same, as we learned from the
Report of Mr. Boshof, and is now busily engaged to
grant Erven and places to those who have applied for
them."

The number visited in the camps on that side the
Draakberg was said to amount to about five hundred.

Mr. Sheil has been re-elected for Tipperary.
SOUTH AUSTRALIA.—Private letters speak in
high terms of the advancing and prosperous condition of
South Australia, and the town of Adelaidein particular.
The only complaint in respect of the latter is that the town
is between six and seven miles from the port, which makes
the land carriage of goods sent thither, after being dis-
embarked from the ships, nearly as heavy as the freight
tonnage from England to the port. The consequence has
been that a company has been formed for building a town
at Boston Boy, Port Lincoln, situated at a point of
Spencer's gulf, where there is said to be one of the finest
harbours in the world. The statement of a colonist who
has been to inspect it is " that the whole British fleet
might lie there in water as smooth as a mill-pond ; and
that there is a depth of from i to 9 fathoms of water all
along the shore, so that ships of any tonnage can come
close alongside, discharge their cargoes, and lie there at all
seasons of the year." An abundance of fresh water has
also been discovered at this point, a most valuable commo-
dity in a region where drought is almost the only evil.
So great nn interest has been excited in the new town at
Boston Bay, that a vessel sails from Adelaide to Boston
Bay every Saturday, and all the water frontages have
been bought up with the greatest avidity. —Notwithstand-
ing the great salubrity of the climate it is stated to be
very changeable, " ten times more so than that of Eng-
land." The hottest day of their last summer (our winter)
the thermometer stood at 101 Fahrenheit in the shade, and
27 in the sun. In a tent exposed to the sun it was one
day 113, the next 116, the third 115, and the fourth only

LORD ltoLLE.—On Tuesday last the whole of
the officers of the North Devon Yeomanry Cavalry, and a
deputation from each troop of the regiment, waited on the
Noble and Venerable Colonel, Lord Rolle, at Stevenstone,
for the purpose of presenting to his Lordship a splendid
sword, value one hundred guineas, purchased by subscrip-
tion among the officers, non-commissioned officers, and
privates, as a testimony of their esteem and regard.
WESTMINSTER OF OLD.—A hundred years
ago, fagots were thrown into the ruts in King-street and
Union.street, in order to save the royal limbs from dislo-
cation, when the King patriotically hazarded them for the
welfare of his subjects down this, the only road to Parlia-
ment, at the opening or closing of the session ; and pales
were placed four feet high between the footpath and the
coach-road, in order to preserve luckless foot-passengers
from, being bathed in mud, if not from more serious injury.

the Nancy from Liverpool to Dundalk, wrecked in
Douglas Bay in July last.

Mr. Alderman STURGE in the chair.
The evidence of Captain Moorson was resumed as
follows :—About half-past nine o'clock in the ,eveuing
of the 15th of July, the leader of Edgbaston ward came
to my house, and informed me that a mob had attacked
several houses in the Bull-ring, and that some houses
were then on fire. I immediately rode down to the
Bull-ring, and found the approaches to it in possession
of the military, Messrs. Bournes' house on fire, and also
another, and the engines playing upon them. I found
several Magistrates at the Public Office. Instructions
were sent for the special constables to be placed under
a system of watch and ward, for the prevention of
further disturbances. I communicated the instructions
to the ward leaders at the Town Hall, on the following
morning. The special constables were not systemati-
cslly or regularly employed, until after the night of the
15th. On the 18th, finding considerable difficulties in
the way of the employment of the special constables, I
wrote to the Mayor, suggesting certain arrangements for
their continued employment, which the Magistrates
considered necessary. On the following clay, two
Magistrates, with myself, were constituted a Committee,
to attend to matters connected with the special con-
stables, and I drew up the regulations which were
printed and advertised in the Newspapers. Referring
to what took place on the sth of July, at Holloway-
head, I am of opinion that the people did not consider
themselves prohibited from meeting at Holloway-head
up to that time. When I got to the Bull-ring on the
night of the 15th, when the houses were on fire, the
house of Messrs. Bournes' seemed to be in a blaze from
bottom to top. From all I knew and saw, I am of
opinion that the riot and destruction of property on the
night of the 15th, was not premeditated.
James Charles Perry, of 19, High-street, grocer, ex-
amined :—The meetings in the Bull-ring commenced
some months prior to the riot in July, and were held in
the evening, soon after seven o'clock. They were at first
attended by about two hundred or three hundred per-
sons, of the working class, chiefly men. There were no
banners at first, but within the last fortnight there were
some with inscriptions upon them, but what those in-
scriptions were I do not know. I never was near enough
o hear the speakers. I believe the principal business
was reading the newspapers. The meetings were peace-
tble up to the time of the London police coming. They
dispersed about nine o'clock. I used to admire that
they went off peaceably. Occasionally though seldom,
they went away in procession, but they were always
very quiet ; there was nothing menacing in their
conduct, and I never felt any alarm. Towards the
month of July, the numbers gradually increased, until at
length they amounted to some thousands. Some of
my neighbours, I believe, were alarmed at the meet-
ings, and I certainly thought it was an improper place
for them to assemble, and that, if the meetings were
continued, they might eventually lead to a breach of
the peace. The people were not armed in any way. I
do not clearly remember whether or not I was applied
to, to join in any application to the Magistrates to pre-
vent the meetings ; if I were so applied to, I did not
join in any such application. I never sustained any in-
jury or annoyance from these meetings ; my customers
never complained, with the exception of two, who, after
the riots, did say they were afraid to come to us. The
meetings were more numerously attended, for a few
days prior to the arrival of the London police,
and after the warnings issued by the Magistrates ;
but otherwise, their character was as before. I
was at my shop on the night of the 4th of July ;
the meeting assembled as usual on that night,
and was largely attended ; there were one or two
more banners, but otherwise there was no difference in
the character of this meeting, from the previous ones.
About half-past eight I heard a cry, which excited some
alarm in my mind, in consequence of which I locked
my shop door, and went up stairs, where, from an upper
window, I saw the meeting flying in all directions, pur-
sued by a body of men whom I afterwards found to be
the London police. A party of the police came up to
my side of the street, driving the people before them. The
police were then in possession of some of the banners.
The police used their staffs. When 1 first looked out
of my window, the people were flying in every direction,
and did not appear to be offering any resistance to the
police, nor did I see the police strike the people when
flying. I now recollect, I saw one man near my house
strike one of the police in the face with his fist ; his hat
fell off, and in attempting to pick it up he was struck
by several persons ; he fell down with several persons
upon him. I afterwards saw him taken into a shop
below, apparently injured. With the exception of the
attack I have stated, the people did not make any stand
against the police, so far as I saw. I saw no stones
thrown. My view was from the Monument and the
Market Hall, upwards to New-street. I could not see
what took place near Moor-street. I did not, at any
time that evening, see the police retreating before the
people. The soldiers came in about twenty minutes
after the police. I did not hear the Riot Act read, but
I understood it bad been read before the arrival of the
soldiers. I think I saw Dr. Booth with the soldiers.
The soldiers patrolled the streets to prevent the people
re-assembling. I did not observe anything more in par-
ticular that evening. For a few days after the 4th the
military patrolled the streets. There were no meet-
ings held in the Bull-ring after the 4th ; but be-
tween that and the 15th the people complained
of being driven about unnecessarily by the London po-
lice. I knew several persons who were struck by them
between the 4th and the 15th, and, as it appeared to
me, unnecessarily. During the 15th of July I observed
nothing unusual until about nine in the evening, when
there were more people about than ordinary. I had
been absent from my shop from seven till nine. At
nine o'clock, as I was returning along New-street, I
observed a great crowd in High-street, and passed down
Worcester-street to my house at Edgbaston, without
calling at my shop, as I originally intended. I did not
come to town again until the following morning. My
opinion is, that the people were much exasperated by
the conduct of the London police between the 4th and
15th. Ido not think the riot and destruction of pro-
perty was premeditated, or that there was any particu-
lar selection of houses. My belief is, that the destruc-
tion of property was effected by thieves and vagabonds,
and not by those who are generally known under the
name of the working classes.
Daniel Mason, of No. 2, Wheeley's-lane, saddler,
examined—l work for Messrs. hliddlemore, of Hollo-
way-head. I have occasionally passed down the Bull-
ring when the meetings were holding. They were
always quiet ; but I never staid to witness their pro-
ceedings. There was no interest excited among the
people in our manufactory by the Chartist proceedings,
or the Bull-ring meetings, until after the arrival of the
London police, and the dispersion of the meeting by
them on the night of the 4th of July. On the 15th
of July, from one o'clock till eight in the evening,
there were groups of persons collected at Holloway-
head, As I went to my dinner, I saw several of these
groups, some sitting, and others standing round persons
who were reading the Newspapers to them. They
were all quiet. In the evening I saw several hundred
people pass by our manufactory towards the Bull-ring.
They were not armed, not even with sticks. They went
down in procession. They had no banners, and did not
appear to have any leaders. They were principally
lads. There was nothing about them to excite alarm.

About half an hour after they had passed, I and a shop-
mate went into the Bullring. This was about half-past
eight or nine o'clock. We were surprised there were so
few people there, for we expected the procession had
gone there. There were many indignant expressions
used against the London police,by small groups of persons
standing about. We went past the Public-olfice up
Moor-street. One of the gates of the office was open, and
we saw some of the London police in the gateway, with
one whom we took to be an inspector, in plain clothes.
This latter cried out to those who were passing, " Move
on ;" and by his direction one of the police walked across
the street, and collared a man, whom he struck several
severe blows with his staff upon the shoulders. He did
not attempt to take him into custody, nor did he say
anything to him before he struck him. We passed up
bl\eloro;r-asntrdeesto,maeloonfgthDemal, principally
and into the Bull-ring,
again. The people were then m ch
lads,

breaking
Mr. Naden's upper windows by throwing missiles against
them. We proceeded down the Bull-ring, and saw a
man with a stick and a hankerchief tied to it, standine-
opposite Mr. Watson's, the hop-merchant. No one
was near him, but he appeared to be giving directions.
He looked towards Naden's, whose windows they were
then breaking, and said, " You are wrong, you
are wrong." I did not observe whether or not
they obeyed his directions. There were many people
in the. Bull-ring, and much excitement prevailing, but
there were then no fires. We passed along Bell-
street, and went home, and saw nothing more that
evening. On the night of the 16th I left the manu-
factory, at Holloway-head, about eight o'clock, and,
having observed some people on the bill, walked towards
my own house in Wheeley's-lane, in company with a
gentleman whom I met on the road. When at the
top of Wheeley's-lane, we saw the military ap-
proaching in three directions ; and I, having an
appointment to stay at our manufactory that
evening, for the purpose of its protection,
made my way thither. As I came down Bath-row
by St. Thomas's Church, I met several dragoons.
One of them asked me where I was going ; but
before giving me time to receive my reply, rode on the
footpath towards me. I turned and ran ; he followed
me with his drawn sword, sn,(lNsotru; struck ip-nrentrevnitthioint
any
back, shoulder, and arrn. Having reached the house
for
No. 4, Bath-row, and seeing some one there standing
within the palisades, I asked him to allow me to come
within them ; he replied, ,
of you here." The soldier continued striking me,
and I ran on till I reached my own door, the dra-
goon leaving roe shortly before then. I found myself
cut on the arm, and blood flowing from the wound,
which was dressed by a surgeon who happened to be
present. My arm subsequently became worse ; abscesses
formed, and erysipelas ensued. The surgeons at one
time meditated amputation ; but I told them my arm
was my chief support, and they might as well take my

In the Dublin Evening Mail of Monday, it is stated
that" the rain of Friday night and Saturday—succeeded
by either a drizzling or a damp-warm atmosphere yester-
day and to-day—has thrown a considerable gloom on
the prospects of farmers." The accounts in the provin-
cial papers of Ireland are of a conflicting character.
Not a few reports are far more favourable as regards
the quantity and quality of the corn housed than we had
anticipated, whilst in numerous accounts alarm is declared,
and every person's loaf is said to be jeopardized by wea-
ther such as the country has not witnessed for 50 years.
The Pilot of last Monday states that the utmost fears
are entertained for the safety of the crops yet outstand-
ing ; but immediately afterwards adds, as regards the
neighbourhood of Dublin :—" We have ourselves seen
several fields of corn yesterday in a drive of fifteen or
twenty miles outside the suburbs, and we are glad to
say that a great proportion of the wheat appears to be
safe in stack, whilst a few stooks are yet in the fields
suffering more or less from the weather."
