Transportation to Western Australia.

The following is a copy of the memorial presented
on Thursday by a deputation of colonists from Wes-
tern Australia and others connected with that colony
to the Duke of Newcastle on the continuance of
transportation :
" My Lord Duke,—We, the undersigned, owners
of land and employers of labour, merchants, and
others interested in the colony of Western Australia,
beg most respectfully to lay before your Grace a few
facts connected with the subject of transportation to
the colony.

" Encouraged by the patient and attentive con-
sideration wbich you have ever given on occasions
when we have solicited the same favours, we have
the greater confidence in again availing ourselves of
your Grace's consideration from the fact that the
subject on which we desire to address you is just
now one of more titan colonial importance and is
engaging the serious attention, as it affects the wel-
fare, of the kingdom at,large.
"Her Majesty having named a special commis-
sion to inquire' into the operations of the Acts re-
lating to transportation and penal servitude, and
into the manner in which sentences of transporta-
tion and of penal servitude have been and are car-
ried into effect under the provisions of the said Acts
or any of them,' we venture to suggest that the
colony which we represent is in every way suited to
receive convicts on a large and comprehensive scale.
" The system is already organised to a great ex-
tent, and has been found to work satisfactorily as
far as it has gone. The convicts, 'separated from
old associations and vicious companionship, have a
chance of redeeming their characters and of begin-
ning a new atd better career, while their compul-
sory labour is much needed in works to which it is
difficult to get free settlers to apply themselves, the
making of roads and bridges calculated to open up
the internal communication and to develope the
great mineral and other natural wealth of the
country.

"Substantial prisons and depots have been already
built, and every provision made to receive a large
number of convicts, and to keep them in proper em-
ployment and control. The cost of their mainten-
ance is considerably lower than it would be in the
mother country (as appears by the last official re-
turn for 1861, showing the sum of £45,013 voted
for the whole convict service in Western Australia,
the total number of convict ana ticket-of-leave men
being 1848).

" The d)fficulties in the way of escape are almost
insurmountable, and the neighbouring settlements
need have no apprehension Irom the propinquity of
e(,l fink r; and surrounded by natural bar
of su:l tt to, mida Mt character as Western
Au,ti-aila—m-piaa,td by sea or by impenetrable
bush—so peculiarly afford. 9.

In proof of the success of the means adopted for
controlling the convicts and repressing crime, we
bug to call your Grace's attention to the following
passage in the report of the Toodgay Agricultural
Society, read at the annual meeting in Oct. last :

" ' In reporting on the moral condition of the district
your committee have much satisfaction in staling that with
the exception of one man committed for trial for forgery,
and an escaped probation prisoner convicted of cattle steal-
ing, the cases in the district poliee court have all been of a
trifling nature. This in a widely scattered district like
To bdgay (about 150 miles long by 60 broad) speaks well for
the conduct of the population here, considering so large an
area has but one sergeant and one constable of police for its
protection.'

" We also desire to submit to your Grace some
remarks bearing immediately upon the subject in
the report of the York Agricultural Society, issued
in the same month, and to the following effect :

" The subject of labour must always be a matter of great
importance to a district like this. It is a singular fact that,
although there are many men roaming from one point of the
district to another with the ostensible purpose of obtaining
employment, there is scarcely a good agricultural labourer
or man capable of taking charge of teams to be found
among them.
" Your committee, in their report last year, were of
opinion that the Government should be solicited to return
to the ticket-of-leave and hiring depot system in vogue
some years ago, and they feel confident that if this system
were carried out to a full extent not only the district would
be greatly benefited but a much greater facility would be
given for obtaining better and more suitable men. Thepre-
sent rate of wages to farm servants averages from £lB to
£24 per annum ; shepherds, £3O and upwards, with rations.
Your committee, while alluding to this subject. feel bound
to state that many of the ticket-of-leave holders and condi-
tion al-pardon men that are in this district have proved very
useful and good farm servants.' _ _ .

" Many of the gentlemen who have signed this
memorial can bear to stimonv, of their own personal
observation and knowledge, that numbers of con-
victs who have served their time of punishment or
probation in the colony have not only become re-
formed characters but are themselves employers of
labour, and honourably assisting in the develop-
ment of the great national resources of the colony.
" Finally, we beg to sum up the advantages
which appear in our opinion to recommend West-
ern Australia to the attention of her Majesty's Go-
vernment as a convict colony. Its comparative
isolation an; the difficulties it prevents in the wa3
of escape ; the success which has attended the sys
tem already established ; the cheapness of p-ovi-
sions and corer quent tummy in the maintenance
of criminals ; the desire cif the colonists for an ex-
tension of transportation ; the adequate means al-
ready prepared and expenses incurred for providing
f:•( «net t.ceuriug a much larger number of men that

which induce Ls respectfully but most earnestly to

loyal ? To the Constitution ? Tricy have sus-

pended it. To the Union ? They proclaim boldly
that they are opposed to the Union as it was, and
wish to establish a new one, as it ought to be. To

the States ? They propose to blot out State lines.
To the Government? They ignore the laws of Con-
gress, and scorn the decisions of the Supreme Court.

To the President P They propose to depose him if
he do not obey them." But Mr. Lincoln will not
drive them to any such extremity; he knows that
they are logically right ; that his proclamations for
the abolition of slavery in the South are as idle and
worthless as Mr. Jefferson Devis's proclamation for

the hanging of Gen. Butler; that the South has

made itself a nation ; and that the time has come
for the North to do likewise, or prepare the way for
a third dismemberment. If Mr. Lincoln had the

civic courage (and civic courage is the great thing
wanting in this country) to act upon this convic-
tion, and boldly proclaim to the people that the
time had come for a great National Convention to
decide the question of peace, boundaries, and a
Customs union between the two republics, he might

even now make a mark in history and take his place
among great men. But he has not the courage. He
believes that the North must fight out the fight as
best it may—neither conquering nor conquered—
until some respectful offer of mediation from a
friendly European Power shall extricate him and
the nation from a difficulty which national pride
on the one hand and Executive cowardice on the
other will permit neither to take the slightest step
for removing, except in the battlefield. If this be not
Mr. Lincoln's private belief, he acts as if it were.
Awaiting the issues of battle—which to use an
expressive Americanism, will speedily " thunder all

around," at Charleston, at Wilmington, atVicksburg,
at Port Hudson, in the heart of Tennessee and Ar-
kansas, everywhere except on the road to Richmond,
Mr. Horace Greeley, and not the President, hes be-
come the hero of the hour and the master of thesitua-
tion. It is not what the President thinks, but what
Mr. Greeley recommends, that attracts the public at-
tention, and sets critical tongues and pens at work
throughout the Federal North. Mr. Greeley has
lost heart in the struggle. If the war languish be-
tween this and the let of May; if the North do not
conquer the Southern armies, capture the Southern
cities, and effectually crush the rebellion before that
day, with or without the aid of the negroes, he re-
commends that ti a North should cease the useless
conflict, and make the best terms it can. He has
been to Washington to urge these views upon the
President, he has conferred with influential men
even in the Democratic ranks, and is publicly ac-
cused by his literary rivals of having had inter-
views with the French Ambassador, to court the
mediation of the Emperor Napoleon. Three or foul
weeks ago he stated his willingness, if the fate and
fortune of war should continue as hcpelessly ad-
verse as ever to all the efforts of the Federal arms,
to accept the friendly mediation of the Swiss Re-
public. From these opinions, though attacked with
every epithet of abuse that the American dialect of
the English language can supply, he has never
swerved, unless it have been to substitute France for
Switzerland as her most available friend and peace-
maker. His hopes of final military triumphs may
have been greater on some d Ays than on other; but
since the battle of Fredericksburg he has been
honourably persistent in maintaining that there
must be a limit to the war, and that if the success
so ardently longed for does not speedily bless the
Federal arms, it is alike wisdom, duty, and true
patriotism to accept the hostile verdict of the world
and of circumstances, and to cease the further shed-
ding of American blood. " If," he says, " three
months more of earnest fighting shall not serve to
make a serious impression on the rebels—if the end
of that term shall find us no further advanced than
its beginning—if some malignant fate has decreed

that the blood and treasure of the nation shall ever
be squandered in fruitless efforts, let us bow to our
destiny and make the best attainable peace.' To-
day, in answer to the charge that be had consulted
M. Mercier and Mr. Vallandigham on the subject, a
charge which he denies, he reiterates his opinion
in terms that admit of none but wilful misinterpre-
tation. " The war," be says, " has entered upon a
phase which, in all probability, must prove final.
We are upon the eve of movements, combinations,
attacks, and battles whereof the result must be well
nigh decisive." He adds that if, contrary to his hope
and expectation, the South should gain the victory
in the general results of th:s decisive campaign,
" impartial third parties will say that we ought to
consent to peace on the best attainable terms." " In
short," he believes that " the time will come (he
does not say how soon, as that depends on the issues
of conflicts yet in the future) when the great Powers
of Europe will mediate, not by blows or menaces,
but by representations against a continuance of the
struggle as fruitless, wasteful butchery, and urge a
settlement in the interests of humanity and com-
merce."
Mr. Greeley, in saying as much as this, is the
boldest public man in America, and his boldness is
of the more account and significancy because of the
unmistakable control which he exercises over the
mind of the President. What, it may be asked,
has led Mr. Greeley to speak of peace so
gravely, and to curb, or endeavour to curb, the
rampant madness of the Abolition party, of which
he has so long been a spokesman and a leader?
Ia it the corruption engendered by tho war ? The
appaling weight of the public debt which has been
and is to be contracted ? The incompetency or im-
becility of the Administration ? The arbitrary acts
of the War Secretary ? The blundering of the
Generals ? Or the general unsuccess of the Federal
cause ? One or all of these things may have opera-
ted on his mind, but the principal cause of his want
of faith is that he is desillusionnc on the subject of
negro emancipation and the negro himself. He urged
the President to pay his last, as he thought, his best
card ; and the card bas not won the trick. He was
honestly of opinion that the proclamation of free-
dom to the slaves would end the war ; that it would
cripple and exhaust the South, be hailed by Europe
1
with gratitude and respect, not only as a noble act
of philanthropy and statesmanship, but as a legiti-
mate mode of warfare, and accepted readily by the
whole North as a legitimate weapon and a fair issue.
In all these anticipations he has been cruelly disap-
pointed. He not only misjudged the South, but he
misunderstood the negro, and, worse perhaps than
either, he imagined in the honesty and simplicity of
his heart that a majority of the Northern people
really cared for the freedom of the slave, or were
willing to accord social and political rights to a race
whom if they do not hate they certainly dispise. He
has discovered his error. He is disappointed in Eu-
rope and his own people. He finds that he is in
advance of his age, that his notions upon black
men are not the notions of America, that he has
imbibed his ideas of negro equality from English
literature, and not from actual American life ; and
that on this great and vital question he is in hope-
less antagonism with public opinion. So little, it
appears, war he acquainted with the history of the
race of whom he has made himself the champion
that he never read until a fortnight ego the history
of the massacre of St. Domingo. An ex-senator of
the United States, an able lawyer, with whom he
'
has lately had business transactions, undertook to
read him the details. He was so painfully affected

and a newer and fiercer convert than either of them
the Rtv. Dr. Bellows, will cease preaching a war of
extermination against the Southern people for their
perversity in not seeing the way clear to immediate
and unconditional emancipation. These reverend
gentletren require enlightenment in the humanity
as well as the ethnology of the question which they
discuss; or one of their number, the Rev. E. S. Best,
of Milford, in Massachusetts, would not have made
himself so offensive to the instincts, if not to the
reason of the white race, to which it is supposed he
belongs, as to urge publicly from his pulpit the in-
termarriage of the blacks and whites on this conti-
nent as the best thing that could happen to both
races. This gentleman, in a recently published ser-
mon, revised by himself, says—
" Every one who has given the least attention to
this subject sees that great climatic changes take
place in the inhabitants of every nationality who
settle on these shores. The African becomes bleached
—the Caucasian gets browned. The time will yet
come when this difference in colour will be difficult
to trace. This blending of the two races is just
what is needed for the perfecting of both. Give
the Anglo-American, with his lofty genius, his
tireless energy, and indomitable perseverance, the
warm heart, the gushing sensibilities, and the
firm religious faith of the African• American, and
you have the highest, noblest, and most godlike
specimen of humanity. Such a race will yet con-
stitute the real people of America. Here the
human race will reach its loftiest destiny, and this
nation become the glory of all lands—the place
which, above all others, shall most resemble
Heaven, and be the nearest to it."
Perhaps this reverend person is himself a black
man; or, if a white mar., he may have taken to
himself a block wife or intends doing so. Under
no other circumstances is it easy to imagine how he
could preach a doctrine so offensive to the white
population, and one which even the strongest-
minded and most aged spinster of Boston would

indignantly repudiate.
The arrest in Philadelphia of Mr. Boileau, the
proprietor and nominal editor of the Philadelphia
Evening Journal, by order of General Schenck,
the military governor, and his incarceration in
Fort M'llenry for alleged disloyalty, has driven the
Pennsylvanians into a state of excitement that al-
most amounts to frenzy. Mr. Boileau was seized
at midnight by the military and conveyed beyond
the limits of the State of Pennsylvania—a proceed-

said be was the kom who slabbed him. The priganei
7cdinitted,Pough the medium of an interpre-
ter, that he had stabbed Ahqui and then thrown
into
the knife with which he committed the deed
the Regent's Canal dock. The wounded man was
found within a few feet of the canal. The witness
understood from Ahqui that he was wounded by theprisoner 150 yards from the place where he
and ran with the blood gushing from him until AA)
became exhausted.
Emma Sarginson, a woman of the town, well
known at this court, who formerly cohabited with
a Chinaman who kept a lodging-house for sailors,
said she could throw some light on the matter. She
deposed that she was now living i t No. 3, New-court,
Bluegate-fields. and that the prisoner had been liv-
ing at No. 5 in the same court, where he rented an
apartment for is. 6d. per week. Ahqui had been
living under the railway arch in Gun-lane, Lime-
house, and had been in the port of London to three
or four months. The prisoner had been cook of an
American ship, and when he left went to the Stran-
gers' Home, in the West Ind;a-road, Limehouse.
Ahqui took the prisoner away from that institution,
and had deprived him of berths on board three ships,
in each of which he was engaged as cook. Ahqui
took a coat out of the prisoner's room on Thursday
and pawned it, and afterwards promised to take it
out again. The prisoner Sequi went after Ahquito obtain his coat. The witness then said the pri-
soner was a most excellent man.

ing that, independently of his guilt or innocence, is
held to be an unpardonable outrage against State
rights. It is argued that, whatever Mr. Boileau's
offence may have been, he should have been tried
in Pennsylvania before the recognized tribunals.
The whole community is in a ferment, and
the grand jury, under the direction of Judge
Ludlow, have made their presentment against
the General, and the District Attorney has
been ordered to prosecute. The article prin-
cipally inculpated by the General is a review of
President Davis's recent Message, which the writer
contrasts favourably with that of President Lincoln.
Articles much more severely depreciatory of Mr.
Lincoln have been published in the New York
journals without exciting the least official attention.
The Democracy of Pennsylvania appear resolved to
make this the test case in their State, and to stop
the beginnings of evil, whatever may be the conse-
quences. Most probably Mr. Stanton, as soon as
he has official cognisance of the matter—provided
always that Mr. Boileau's incarceration was not
specially ordered by himself, will order the release
of the prisoner, to prevent the further agitation of
a question which at this particular crisis it is pecu-
liarly unlucky, or worse, to force before the nation.
But even this concession to public opinion, suppos-
ing it to be made, will not stay the action of the
Pennsylvanian tribunals against the offending
General. The ,great Commonwealth of William
Penn and the city of Benjamin Franklin will assert
their dignity. The Democrats are in the majority.
The reaction is great and steady against the en-
croachments of the Executive, and General Schenck
will have the unhappy distinction of forming the
central figure in a cause celebre, destined to prove
whether liberty in one of the most ancient, most
illustrious, and most loyal States of the Union is a
mockery or a reality.

Inspector Hayes, of the K division, said the
house-surgeon at the hospital was of opinion that it
was necessary the deposition of the wounded man
should be received as early as possible.
Mr. Selfe accordingly proceeded without delay to
the hospital, to which the prisoner was also taker.
The Rev, James H. Taylor, a missionary, of No.
1, Beaumont•square, Stepney, was sworn as inter-
preter.
Ahqui, who can speak English, said he was a
Christian, and was sworn in the ordinary manner.
He made the following statement :—My name is
Ahqui, of 1, Limehouse. 1 have been in England
14 days. lam the cook of an American ship. I was
going away in a ship to Shanghai. The prisoner was
going as cook also in another ship. At half-past 9
o'clock last night I went to the prisoner's house.
I siw him there, and asked him to come along
with me to my house at Limehouse. He said, '° No,
not to-night." I went back to Limehouse, and five
minutes after wards the prisoner came into my place,
where the master of the house, his wife, and two
children were. He said, " Ahqui, you go out your-
self and buy opium." I said, It is too late. I
have walked till lam tired." The master was there
at the time. Hs asked me again to go, and at half-
past 10 I went out with him. We were good
friends up to that time. We walked through tour
or five streets when he said in Chinese :
you," and took a long knife from his coat-
pocket, and gave me two heavy blows, one in the
belly, the other on the left shoulder, I had no
quarrel with him. No angry words, and no blows.
I ran with all my bowels out and bleeding, until I
fell down. I could not walk any further. 1 was
near a canal when he struck me.

Mr. Selfe (pointing to Scqui)—ls that the man ?
Ahqui—Yes, that is the man.
:In answer to Mr. Selfe, the witness added that
he took away from his place last evening a coat
which belonged to him. He lent it to the prisoner
two weeks ago, and only took it back. The pri-
soner never said it was his coat, and did not object
to the witness taking it. Ho did not know why the
prisoner struck him. He never prevented his going
in a ship as cook, and did not know whether he was
ever in the Strangers' Home, West India-road. He
hal only been there 14 days. The first time he ever
saw him was when he came to his ship. He was
in very great pain, and did not know whether he
would live.

Mr. Pyer then read the deposition in English,
and it was translated to him, sentence by sentence.
The prisoner frequently said, " It is quite correct,"
in his own language; and he also said that part of
it where he was accused of stabbing Ahqui was
very correct, and added—" lam the man." After
the whole of the deposition was read the prisoner
was asked if he wished to put any questions to
Ahqui, to which he replied, "No, I don't wish to
say anything to him."
The wounded man having signed his deposition in
Chinese characters, the prisoner was taken back to
the Thames Police-court, and Mr. Selfe formally
remanded him for a week.

Ahqui was in a very low state yesterday evening,
and it was feared he would not survive many hours.

SOUTHWARK.—DanieI Cormick, H(nry Prit-
chard, Samuel Pritchard, and Matthew Hayward
were summoned before Mr, Combo by Miss Angelica
Read, of 22, Stamford-street, Blackfriars-road, for
having unlawfully, with a force of arms, and with
strong hand, entered certain messuages, Nos_ 1,2,
3,5, 19, 20, and 23, Stamford-street, the property of
Miss Read, and for unlawfully and injuriously keep
ing possession of the same.
Mr. Francis Russell, instructed by Mr. J. C.
Mey mott, appeared to prosecute • Mr. Binns defended
Cormick ; and Mr. L. Lewis defended the others.

Miss Read, on being sworn, said that her father
and herself had been in undisputed possession of the
houses named in the summons for upwards of 40
years. Her father died about 18 years ago. At his
death she received the rents and kept the keys, but
for some years they had not been tenanted. She
had property in all the houses. She had been
in the habit of entering all the houses occasionally
to see that all was safe. Lately she had had the
whole of the roofs put into proper repair, and she
intended to thoroughly repair all of them, so as to
let them to respectable tenants. On Monday after-
noon she went to No. 1 with a workman, when she
was surprised to see a crowd round the doorway.
The iron gate had been forced, and one of the men
(she believed Hayward) had a crowbar, with which
he forced open the door and entered. The other
defendants were there, as well as Mrs. Cormick, who
asked her to show her title-deeds. Being very much
frightened, she got out of the crowd as quickly as
possible, and returned home. In the course of the
same evening she went to the same house again with
a carpenter and smith, regained possession, and
secured the door. Shortly after they had entered,
the house was broken into again by Mrs. Cormick
and her party, and she was compelled to seek escape
by the roof.
In cross-examination by Mr. Binns, witness said
that since her father's death none had ever disputed
possession with her until now. She knew nothing
of Mrs. Cormick or the defendants.
Henry Scroggs, a smith, said that during the last
three months he put a new lock and box on the
door of No. 1, Stamford-street. The door was very
strong and calculated to resist great violence. On
the evening of the 19th ult. he accompanied Miss
Read to No. 1, which they found had been broken
open. They gained an entrance and fastened it
again. A minute or two afterwards a mob sur-
rounded the outside, and he beard persons break-
ing the door. Miss Read told the carpenter to ask
what they wanted, and while the carpenter was in
the act of drawing the top bolt the door was burst
in. Mrs. Cormick and a mob then rushed in.
Among the latter he recognised Hayward, Cormick,
and Henry Pritchard. There was a great tumult
outside at that time, and stones were thrown in,
one of which struck witness. Miss Read made her
escape by the skylight, telling him to stay in till
they turned him out. Soon after that the defend-
ants turned him out. The door was opened, and he
was pushed out of the house.
In cross-examination witness said that before
that he drank beer with them. The defendants
_
never told him they had been pushed in. The wit-
ness saw all the defendants there.
Mr. Combo committed all thprisoners for trial,
accepting bail for their appearance iat the sessions.

The reportbe presented at the meeting of the
Ensglisuht:tiy
dto Australian Copper Company on the 19th inst.
states that the available balance is only £2,270, and that
no dividend is recommended.
