ROULAND,

La Patrie contains very curious details of nursery
gardens belonging to M. Andre Leray, at Epluchard,
near Angers, M. Leray's Gothic house having been the
ancient maison de plaisance of old King Rene, father of our
Henry Vl.'s Queen Margaret. The gardens contain 600
varieties of evergreens, 400 of coniferous trees, a most
remarkable collection of Spora willows, and every novelty
in the way of forest trees and new kinds of underwood.
But the most signal triumph is the acclimatisation of the
camellia ; specimens of this tree cover one hectare of land,
and in many instances have attained the height of six
yards, or rather metres—their magnificent condition and
glorious flowers proving a perfection rarely attained in
conservatories. Some of these camellia trees have out-
lived 80 winters, and endued 20 deg. ontigrades o old.

LONDON, FRIDAY, JAN. 13, 1865.

The intelligence from our Australian colonies is
interesting, though not specially important. The
general election which, when the last mail arrived,

was in process in Victoria, has of course long since
arrived at its conclusion, and the result has been to
send the Ministry back to the House with a large

majority. This is said to be partly owing to the
Hibernian propensities of the late Administration,
which alarmed English and Scotch by installing
Irishmen in all the comfortable sinecures. Those
who traced their descent to other portions of the
British race were therefore glad of the opportunity
of securing a long lease of power to less exclusive
patriots. In New South Wales the election was
going on when the mail left, but matters were less
harmonious. So keen was the contest between
the rival parties that the Opposition refused to vote
the supplies necessary for carrying on the govern-
inent during the interregnum, and therefore the
Administration will have to undertake the responsi-
bility of making unauthorised payments. This task is
the more invidious because the finances of the
colony are in anything but a satisfactory condition,
and the present Ministry entered office with a de-
ficit of nearly £400,000 left by their predecessors, to
which they have ingeniously added a corresponding
amount. This is naturally not a very agreeable
position for the national exchequer, and conse-
quently the financial reputation of the Government
is at a discount. Happily the fortunes of this young
and •
et&lng colony do not
for much °lirl
give ground
uneasiness• The relationship of Eng-
land to her
colonies is just now the topic of
interest in Australian circles, as it
quarters of the globe. Although happily the great
Southern continent has not
h a au
like the Northern States, watchingdgerous neighbour
the
her movements
and coveting her territories, still e great body of
the population are by no means
i:etb.ntbiblieleei mother
of the
advantages of their connection w
country. It is true that a party may
in
Melborne itself, where the question is being just now
actively agitated, who put forward the old 1135 w
_ argu-
ments, that so far from Great Britain being a pro-
tection to her children they are likely to become,
through her, involved in wars with which individu-
ally they have nothing to do. The.se thinkers plead
that the old days of unscrupulous aggression on
weak states, merely because they are weak, are
gone by, and that no Power would now dream
of any interference with their liberties unless they
had the plea of a war with England for doing it.
They further argue that in case of such a war Great
Britain would have enough to do to defend herself
and her commerce, and that consi?quently her
remote colonies must be left pretty much to their

"ONE MORE UNEORTUNATE."--JaMeS Stuart was charged
with violently assaulting Emma Bunting, of 14, Marl-
borough-road, Chelsea.
Complainant, a well-favoured girl, said that at half-past
nine last night she was walking down Cadogan-place,
when the defendant came up, told her to return home
with him, and upon her refusal, beat her with his fists
and kicked her.
Mr. Arnold—How do you get your living ?
Complainant—l am on the streets.
Mr. Arnold—How old are you?
Complainant—l shall be 16 soon.
Mr. Arnold—How long have you been pursuing this
shocking course of life ?

Complainant—Nearly 12 months.
Mr. Arnold—Then you began before you were 15 ; that
was very early. What led you to it ?
Complainant—l was turned out of doors. I had no home
and it was my only means of living.
Mr. Arnold—How long have you known the defendant?
Complainant—Four months.
Mr. Arnold—Have you been living with him ?
Complainant—Yes, I have, and lam very sorry. I had
got off the streets and gone into service, and I had left my
service ft:4r months ago, when on the very same day the
defendant came to me and said he would keep me if I would
come and live with him and take me off the streets, but he
didn't. I still had to walk the streets for a living, and he
also ill-used me. He is a costermonger, but he would not
go out more than once a week, and it was not likely that
would keep us. I left him three times, but I was afraid of
his threats, and went back to him.
Mr. Arnold—Have you parents living ?
Complainant—My father is dead ; my mother is in the
workhouse.

Defendant said he only struck her once, and he was
much excited at the time, because she seemed to like another
young man better than him.
A policeman proved that, after hearing cries of " Police,"
he went up and saw the defendant strike the girl three vio-
lent blows, and she bled much.
Mr. Arnold remanded him till Tuesday, and finding the
girl has a married sister, requested to see her.

and at which the holders of more than one-half of the
shares issued by the company were represented. Applica-
_ _

tion would be made immediately on the opening of Parlia-
ment for an Act to legalize the amalgamation of the two
companies. As it was probable the Brighton Railway Com-
pany would obtain powers from the Legislature to sell their
line it was thought desirable to ask in the Amalgamation
Bill for power, with the consent of the shareholders, to
combine that :company's line with the joint undertaking,
if satisfactory terms could be arrived at. The traffic re-
ceipts for the last six months, including the balance
of revenue from the previous half-year, amounted to
43,0531., which, after deduction of working expenses and
payment of interest on debentures. left a balance of 20,0891.,
an amount adequate to pay more than 10 per cent. per
annum on the capital stock of the company. The directors
therefore declared a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per
annum for the past half-year. The permanent way and
rolling stock were in good workfng order, and the latter
would shortly be improved by a considerable accession of
new carriages from England. Tae provisional agreement
for the amalgamation of the two companies, to be called
the Melbourne and Hobson's Bay United Railway Com-
pany, specified that the shares and capital stock of the re-
spective companies to be merged in the capital of the amal-
gamated company should consist of 534,7001. divided into
10,694 shares of 50/. each, with power to increase the capi-
tal by additional shares to the extent of 115,3001. The
proprietors of shares in the Melbourne and Hobson's Bay
Railway were to be entitled to ore 501. share in the :amal
gamated company in lieu of each share held by them prior
to the amalgamation ; and the proprietors of the Melbourne
Railway were to be entitled to 2,694 of the 501. shares of
the amalgamated company. They were also to be entitled
to 17,0001. secured by 6 per cent. debentures on the under-
taking of the amalgamated company. The mortgages or
bonds already issued by the Melbourne and Hobson's Bay
Company amounted to 100,0001., and by the Melbourne
Company to 115,3001. After providing for the election of
nine directors for the amalgamated company provision was
made for forming a junction of the two lines of railway at
Melbourne, and for raising further capital by the issue of
additional debentures to an amount not exceeding 100,0001.

WESTMINSTER.

FORTUNATE DETECTION OF A NOTORIOUS TRIEF.—A
short active young fellow, who gave the name of Robert
Bryant, was placed at the bar charged with attempting to
rob a carrier's cart.

Police-constable John Babb, 120 B, said be was on duty
in Sloane-street, Chelsea, at seven o'clook last evening,
and saw the prisoner with three other men walking along
together. He was particularly observing them when a
cart laden with goods passed, and prisoner and one of the
others immediately ran after it. Witness followed, and
after proceeding a short distance the prisoner and his com-
panion got up from behind into the cart, which almost im-
mediately after stopped. As witness was rapidly advancing
towards the cart, the prisoner and his companion jumped
out and endeavoured to make their escape, but the accused
was captured and taken back to the cart, from which
nothing had been taken, as the goods were fastened in,
and there was not sufficient time to loose them.

Prisoner—lt's all a mistake. I was a quietly looking
at a shop window as the policeman comes up and says,
"I wants you." I never was near no cart, and hadn't
nobody with me.

Mr. Arnold- -What is known of the prisoner?
Witness—He was convicted for six months for a rob-
bery in a house less than 12 months ago.
Dennis the gaoler—Ho is a well known thief, and has
been repeatedly convicted of felony.
Mr. Arnold—What do you say to that, prisoner?
Prisoner—Well, of course, I've been a little unfortunate.
Mr. Arnold - I have no doubt of your intentions last
evening. You aro committed to hard labour for three
months.

LONDON, THURSDAY, DEC. 7, 1865.

-

On Tuesday the Maldon Conservative Club gave
an entertainment to celebrate the return of their
two member:, at the last election. Mr. PEACOCKE,
the senior member, made an interesting speech,
which was well received. The hon. member alluded
to the results of the last general election, and did
not entertain an unfavourable opinion of it on the
wholeand, indeed, questioned the evident success
;
of some of the members returned on the other side
were they subjected to strict investigation. Putting
aside political disputes, he adverted to a subject on
which all were united—the fearful pestilence which
has stricken the homesteads of the farmers. Mr.
PEACOCKE truly said that whether we look to the
orders in Council or to the reports of the Commis-
sioners they could find little or no encouragement
in the survey. Much has been said already in
various quarters concerning the extreme uneasiness
to which the _
elennary burgeons have resorted

WHOLESALE SMUGGLING ON BOARD A FOREIGN STEAM-
SHIP.—The first and second engineer and three firemen,
of the Schwalbe steamship, trading between Bremen and
the Port of London, was bruught before Mr. Woolrych on
information, charged with having concealed in the engine-
room of that vessel upwards of forty pounds in weight of
foreign manufactured cigars and tobacco, such not having
been paid the duty for, thereby rendering the ship liable
to be forfeited to the Crown, and the prisoners to a £lOO
penalty each, or six months' imprisonment.
Mr. Beasley, assistant solicitor to the Customs, attended
to prosecute.
Mr. John Edwin Bent, surveyor to her Majesty's Cus-
toms in the port of London, said that on the previous day,
from information he received, he sent on board the
Schwalbe, and entered the engine-room. In one of the
oil tanks he discovered sixty-eight pounds of tobacco and
nineteen boxes of cigars, all of foreign manufacture. He
communicated with the captain, and the prisoners were
sent for and given into custody. Witness, however, did
not think that the engineers knew of the concealment.
Mr. Graves, one of the brokers to the ship, interpreted
the evidence to the prisoners, when

Mr. George Hewsmas, the captain of the vessel, was
called, and ho stated that the two engineers were respect-
able men, and would not have risked their reputation by
smuggling tobacco, or the engine man. In fact he was sure
they knew nothing about it. As for the other man. em-

ROBBERY IN A WAREHOUSE.--George Mitchell, a porter,
was charged with stealing two bottles of wine, valued at
10s., the property of the Midland Counties Railway Com-
pany, at their warehouse, in Royal Mint-street.
At four o'clock this morning a watchman, named Thomas
Moorcroft, employed at the goods station of the Midland
Railway, saw the prisoner in a warehouse there. A bottle
of wine was standing against a post. The prisoner took it
away. Moorcroft immediately sent for a police-constable,
named Samuel Fuller, No. 153 11, who took the prisoner
into custody. He saw a cask of wino there that had been
spilled. He received a bottle of wine from the last witness.
It had been taken from the prisoner. At the station-house
the prisoner gave the constable another bottle of
wine. The constable returned to the warehouse, and
found another bottle of wine had been spiled. The
prisoner delivered to Fuller a gimlet and a spile peg,
and admitted he had taken the wine.

A quart of port and a quart of sherry in square
bottles was produced, and Mr. John Walker, an agent
of the Midland Counties Railway Company, said the
value of it was 10s.

Tho prisoner pleaded guilty, and added, " I did not
mean to take it off the premises." He was convicted
under the Criminal Justice Act, and sentenced to three
months' imprisonment and hard labour.
LAZY PAUPERS.—George Saunders, aged 37, John Ben-
nett, 29, Itobt. Evans, 19, and George Townsend, 18, were
charged with refusing to perform the task-work allotted
to them by the Guardians of Mile-snd Old-town while
they were casual inmates of the workhouse.
Thomas Moffatt, porter of the workhouse, said that he
admitted the prisoners into the casual ward last night.
They had a warm bath, and supper and breakfast this
morning. They had absolutely good beds to lie upon all
night. Ile put them into the stone-yard at half-past 8,
and directed them to break up a basket of stones. They
all refused, and said they had never broken stones before
and would not do so now.

The prisoners were all asked if they had anything to
say, and each replied in a sullen manner "Nothing."
Mr. Partridge—l sentence each of you to 21 days' im-
prisonment and hard labour.

The British Army and Navy Review.

This distinguished organ of the military ancl
maritime services, we are authorised to announce,
will henceforth be published—very appropriately'
as it appears to us—by the Publisher in Ordinal
(by Patent) to her Majesty the Queen. With the
commencement of the new year, in other words)
it
will be issued from the establishment of Mr. Bent,
ley, of New Burlington-street, to whom the Pro-
perty in it has been transferred. In addition to its
circulation in the Three Kingdoms, the British
Army and Navy Review is to be found at all the
stations in India, as well as in North and South
America, in Australia, and in all the principal citiesi
t
of the European continent. Its efficient conduc/
therefore, is necessarily to the members of both
ci
services a matter of the very last importance. And
a guarantee for the maintenance of that efficiency
is afforded, as it appears to us, in a very sig/3„_..
manner, by this transference to the hands of
Bentley of the property itself and of the respos'
bility of its future publication.

occasion :

" He cursed us living, he cursed us dying,
Never was heard such a terrible curse ;
But what gave rise
To no little surprise,
Nobody seems one penny tho worse."
Mr. Du CANE considers that the Liberal party are
not likely to succeed owing to the disunion that
exists in their ranks, and now that " the noblest
Roman of them all" is taken away, they will want
a leader who can command the support and win the
sympathies of the motley crew.
Lord EUSTACE CECIL made a good speech, in
which he dwelt on the main topics that now engage
public attention, and declared that Parliament
ought to have been summoned to deal with the diffi-
culties that environ us on account of the cattle
plague. No doubt it would have been a material
assistance, but circumstances contended against it.
Lord RUSSELL, the noble lord thought, would again

combine progress with a rest-and-be-thankfulpolicy.

meeting, but the general tone that animated its
discourses was spirited, and the speaker took a
