The Legislative Council of New South Wales
has taken the first step towards carrying into effect
the change in the constitution of the colony con-
ceded by the dispatches of Sir J. Pakington and
the Duke of Newcastle. In the sitting of the 20th
Mr. Wentworth moved the appointment of a com-
mittee to draw up what is called " the new consti-
tution." The chief point discussed in this pre-
liminary debate was the future organization of an
Upper Chamber, the establishment of which is the
condition attached to the other concessions of the
home Government. In the remonstrance of the
Council of last year, the constitution of Canada was
referred to as the model to be copied in the reor-
ganisation of that of New South Wales. The Cana-
dian Upper House is composed of members nomi-
nated by the Crown for life ; .and Mr. Wentworth,
in moving for the committee, assumed that the
Council has bound itself to adopt that mode of
constituting the Upper House, and no other. The
Crown has granted what was asked, and it is
argued, the Council has no right now to alter
the terms of its demand. Only one member of the
Council—Mr. Martyn—dissented from this view of
the question ; he thought the Council was not so
completely tied by the language of its remonstrance
as Mr. Wentworth supposed, and maintained that
the reference to the constitution of Canada was
merely general—a mode of expressing their wish
that the spirit of "responsible government," which
has been so advantageous to Canada should be in-
fused into the future political system of New South
Walesrand_not. a-.demand for the exact reproduc-
tion here of a Canadian institution. The commit-
! tee, however, will, it is pretty certain, adopt
Mr. Wentworth's view of the question, and recom-
mend that the new Upper Chamber be composed
of nominees of the Crown. It is the readiest
mode of meeting the difficulty ; but that it will be
popular out of doors is,more than doubtful. The
nominee system is disliked in any form ; hitherto,
every failure in colonial legislation has been ascribed
to the influence of the nominee members of the
obve ernli
Council, as at present constituted ; and it is the
general impression that the new Chamber will be
composed of nearly the same men who are now the
mttleent— more tha ta in
n
regular
fact,supporters
the
the nominee section of the Council sitting sepa-
rately, instead of forming an integral part of it.
The unpopularity of the official members of the
UoerrteCrsham ofb Chamber the
willG
present Council will be transferred to any assembly
constituted in the same manner by nomination. It
will be prejudged. This is the disadvantage of the
system ; on the other hand, it is argued the Crown
is not limited in its selection to its present nomi-
nees, and that if the new appointments are made
for life, as in Canada, some of the body might de-
rive from that security a degree of independence
that would render them fair arbitrators between
the Crown and the elected representatives ; and,
even if the change went no further than sending
the official nominees of the Council to sit in another
Chamber, it would still be an advantage, inasmuch
as the Council, then whrjlly elective, would give a
truer reflex of public, feeling. At present great
concessions have to be made to official influence to
secure the passing a measure or the adoption of a
report ; and some of the elected members will, per-
haps, not be sorry to see the representatives of the
Crown fairly "in another place," where they may
be " bombarded with good measures," and left to
incur the undivided unpopularity of rejecting them.
Something like this is very likely to occur.
The committee to which all the despatches of the
Colonial-office are referred consists of the following
gentlemen :—Mr. Wentworth, the Colonial Secre-
tary, the Attorney-General, Mr. Martyn, Mr.
Cowper, Mr. Douglass, Mr. J. M'Arthur, Mr.
Murray, Mr. Thurlow, and Mr. M'Leay.
The question excites no general interest ; the
public mind is wholly absorbed by business, and
the task of constitution-making falls in a very
unfavourable time. Nothing less solid than gold
and the large profits of the traffic it has created
command any attention.

BLADE V. EVANEL-SPECIAL JURY.

Mr. Sergeant Kinglake and Mr. Prideaux were for
the plaintiff, and Mr. Montague Smith, Q.C., and Mr.
Hodges for the defendant.

Tile plaintiff, Mr. Slade, was a waggon manufacturer
and wheelwright, carrying on business in Temple Backs,
Bristol, and the defendants were Messrs. T. J. Evans
and Thos. Evans, and the action was brought to recover
1481. 13s. 4d., the value of certain timber, and as com-
pensation for injuries the plaintiff had received through
a breach of contract by the defendants.
The action arose out of these circumstances :—ln Ja-
nuary, 1852, there was a sale of a quantity of timber on
the Piercefield estate, near Chepstow, when a purchase
was made by a Mr. Thomas Smith, formerly a resident
at Bristol. The purchase was made subject to certain
conditions, one of which was that if Smith did not pay
the money, the vendors should have the power of re-
selling the timber. Subsequently to the purchase,
Smith became involved, and amongst other persons
he was indebted to the plaintiff ,covor-Itiis
sum he offered the timber which he had bought at
Chepstow. This brought the plaintiff into connection
with the defendants, who agreed to let him have the
timber upon his undertaking to pay the residue of the
purchase money. An account was made out by the
Messrs. Evans, and the plaintiff gave a cheque for the
balance. The plaintiff subsequently agreed to sell a
portion of the timber to a Mr. Bachelor, of Cardiff, who
sent his trow to Chepstow for the timber. He was, how•
ever, owing to the defendants' breach of their agreement
unable to get it, and plaintiff was obliged to pay him
151. for the services of the trow, and also a sum of
money as compensation. This formed a portion of the
claim for special damage. Plaintiff subsequently again
called on defendants for the timber, when they said there
was an account due for hauling by Smith, and that the
, plaintiff must pay it. To this plaintiff replied that
nothing had been mentioned of any charge ofhauling in
the account rendered him, and therefore he had nothing
to do with it ; he at length assented, however, to give
a cheque for it if defendants would give him an acknow-
ledgment of its receipt. They refused to do this, stating
that they did not wish to involve themselves in the mat-
ter, and the plaintiff refusing to give a cheque under
any other conditions, the defendants refused to give up
the timber. In these transactions the Messrs. Evans
were merely the agents of other parties, but as they de-
clined to give the name of their principal, the action
had been brought against them.
The plaintiff and his attorney, Mr. Salmon, were
called to make out the case, and the plaintiff stated that
owing to the defendants' default he had been obliged to
break faith with parties, whereby he had suffered loss.
Mr. M. Smith, in giving the defendant's version of the
matter, admitted the sale to Smith, but stated that
owing to his failure to give security for the money beyond
the 70/. per cent. deposit, the defendants directed the
bailiff of Piercefield not to allow Smith to have any more
timber. The bailiff not wishing the timber to lie on the
estate and injure the herbage, wrote to Smith that if he
did not remove it he should be obliged to do so himself,
and Smith failing, the bailiff removed it to near the place
of embarkation, at which place the plaintiff saw it. It
was clear that Smith must be liable for this charge of
hauling, and the plaintiff coming in in Smith's place,
also became liable. The plaintiff contended that he was
not answerable for any charges between Smith and the
bailiff, but there was no reason why, as the representa-
tive of Smith, defendants should let him have the timber
upon more favourable terms than it would have been
supplied to Smith himself at.
For the defence, one of the defendants, a clerk in his
office, and the estate bailiff, were called, and they stated
that the plaintiff was well aware of the haulage charge
at the time when he came about the timber.

ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL possesses sin-
vlarly nourishing powers in the growth, restoration, and
improvement of the Human Hair, and when every other specific has
failed.
This celebrated Oil is now universally ac'inowledged to be the
cheapest, and superior to all other preparations for the Hair. It
prevents it from falling off oc turning grey—strengthens weak hair
—produces a thick and luxuriant growth—cleanses it from Scurf
and Dandriff—and makes It beautifully soft, curly, and glossy. Its
operation in cases of baldness is peculiarly active; and in the growth
of WHISKERS, EYEBROWS, and MUSTACHIOS, it is unfailing in its
stimulative operation. For Children it is especially recommended,
as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair, and rendering the use
of the fine-c mb unnecessary. In dressing the hair nothing can
equal its effect, rendering the Hair so admirably soft V at it will lie in
any direction, an i imparting a transcendant lustre.—Price 3s. 6d.

VISIT TO THE LAKES; Sill OF EDINBURGH, &c.
Vol. 11.

A series of five resolutions expressing the thanks
of the Council to her Majesty's Ministers for the
recent concessions, and proposing also an address of
thanks to the Crown, was moved and discussed on
the 27th, but for various reasons the resolutions
themselves were so strongly objected to that they
were finally withdrawn, and a committee of eight
members named, with instructions to draw- up
others.
The bill amending the Gold Regulations Act has
been introduced and printed ; it removes many of
the grievances that have been so much complained
of, but, if the reports from the goldfields can be
relied on, is still not considered satisfactory by the
diggers. The desertion of the fields of New South
Wales for those of Victoria is ascribed to the strin-
gency of the regulations enforced in the former
province. But the diggers are under any circum-
stances a migratory class, quitting one field for
another, according to the reported richness of the
finds.' The greater productiveness of the southern
diggings drew them to Victoria in a rush ; and the
discovery of richer deposits than those now being
worked in the north would bring them back again.
Under no regulations, however favourable, would
they stay in an unproductive field ; nor would the
most stringent rules keep them out of a very rich
one. The number of workers in any district is, in
the main, determined by what can be got in it ;
the regulations that are so loudly condemned as
" the cause of depopulation" of the New South
Wales diggings may have some influence, but
not half so much as people impute to them. The
new bill will allow persons to " prospect" or try the
ground without licenses in places that have not
been proclaimed as goldfields. The prohibition of
the issue of licenses to runaway servants and ap-
prentices is repealed, merely because it is impossible
to carry it with effect ; but a conviction of hav-
ing absconded from hired service cancels a license
if it has been obtained. Servants, persons in Go-
vernment employ, and clergymen, are not to pay
license fees for residing on the fields, and foreigners
are to be dealt with precisely as British subjects.
With these amended regulations if a few dazzling
nuggets are turned up during the winter, the Syd-
ney diggings may again be tenanted. Without some
greater finds than have lately been made, much
effect cannot be expected of them.
The committee of the Australian Anti-Convict
League has decided on dissolVing that body so soon
as the ministerial declaration of the abolition of
transportation to any of the present Australian
colonies shall have been legally carried into effect
by an order in Council, or an act of Parliament.
It is proposed to celebrate the dissolution of the
league by the grandest banquet that has ever been
given in the colony.
The Adelaide steamer arrived here on the 21st ;
the incidents of her voyage have almost brought
steam itself into discredit, and the condemnation of
the Royal Mail Company, on all sides, is deep and
hearty. It is doubtful whether the Adelaide can
attempt to make the voyage back to England in her
present state ; the general impression is, she will
be sent to India for extensive repairs, as there is
no dock or slip here large enough for a vessel of
her tonnage. The Shanghai has luckily brought
the mail shipped by the Australian ; had that been
delayed as long as the former one, the merchants of
Sydney would probably have been supported by the
Council in a strong remonstrance to the Post-office
authorities at home on the mismanagement of their
contract for this colony. Considering that the exports
from Australia now equal in value those from the
whole empire of India, the colonists feel justly indig-
nant at their postal arrangements being so bungled.
Two glaring failures, and an accidental escape from
a third, when millions depend on the advices both
ways, are enough to give colour to any charges of
neglect or incapacity in those who have the real
control of the arrangements.
The accounts from the goldfields are almost
limited to the returns of the quantities of bullion
brought down by the escorts, and the preparations
made by the diggers for the winter ; many will
quit the crounds to return in the spring ; the more
steady andt' determined will camp out and work on ;
bark huts and log house 3 are being built, and in
many places the diggings present a more settled ap-
appearance. The roads, difficult in summer, are
becoming worse, and the carriage of goods in again
rising. At Castlemain (Victoria) there has been a
disturbance, caused by the over-zeal of the police in
repressing illicit grog selling ; they pulled down
and demolished a store in the night without war-
rant or authority, leaving the inmates, lodgers, and
others exposed to the weather. Such a proceedine•
on suspicion was considered too bad, and the dig
gers thrown into an anti-police agitation. Indig-
nation meetings are being held, and placards are
posted on the gum trees, invoking the spirit of
Hampden against official tyranny. By the last re-
port it was supposed that the local commissioners
would allay the storm by paying for the damage
done. Half the business of the bpolice appears to
be in hunting out these contraband establishments.

Mr. Overend and Mr. Higgins appeared for the pro-
secution, and Mr. Sowler for the prisoner.
The prosecutor is an operative cotton spinner at
Ashton-under-Lyne, and has lived with the prisoner
in comfort for about 20 years, until about 12 months
ago, since which time they have had frequent quarrels.
The prisoner is the mother of 11 children. On the
21st of May the prosecutor returned home at mid-
night, and the prisoner struck her son, upon which the
prosecutor interfered. The prisoner said to him, "Hold
your d—d noise ; you shall not live three weeks." He
then asked if she was going to poison him, to which she
replied, "No, thou may live as long as thou can." He
hit her with a poker. On the evening of the 24th, upon
the prosecutor returning home from work, he got some
coffee, which tasted disagreeable and rough, but he did
not mention this to his wife. During the night he got
up to get some water, and he then told her how he
felt. Upon getting up at five o'clock in the morning,
he took a parcel of coffee and sugar for his breakfast.
On pouring it out at breakfast-time, he saw some white
grains, and he took the stuff to Mr. Star, the druggist,
and requested him to analyse it. On the Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday, he continued very unwell, and
accused her of attempting to poison him ; but she denied
having put anything into his coffee. She said some
sugar of lead must have fallen from a glass in the cup-
board into his sugar and coffee. She said that she got
the lead for the purpose of bathing her face, which had
been affected by St. Anthony's fire. She recommended
him to get some castor oil. The prosecutor gave in-
formation to Inspector Buckley, who apprehended the
prisoner, and the coffee was analysed by Mr. Stone, of
the Manchester School of Medicine, who found acetate
of lead.
The principal witness for the prosecution was of course
the prosecutor himself, who stated the leading facts of
the case and the symptoms under which he laboured.
He was cross-examined at considerable length by Mr.
Sovvler, and admitted that he had occasionally taken
laudanum at nights, but never in the day time. In this,
however, he was flatly contradicted by his sons, who
stated that they had frequently seen their father take
laudanum in the day-time ; sometimes with a spoon and
sometimes he drank it out of a bottle.
Buckley, the officer, stated the fact of his apprehend-

serious case, and the motives suggested against the pri-
soner were— first, a quarrel with her husband about a
small sum of money ; and secondly, the base motive of
possessing herself of the sum of 4/. from some benefit
society, in case of her husband's death. The fact was
that the weakness under which the prosecutor laboured
was produced by laudanum, and Mr. Steer, the druggist
remonstrated with him, and then he got laudanum else-
where. The husband denied that anything had been
the matter with his wife's face, but it appeared that she
was ill only three weeks before she was apprehended,
and she got some sugar of lead then. The learned
counsel then commented upon the conduct of the prose-
cutor, who just before the time of his wife's apprehen-
sion had got drunk along with her at a public-house,
and now appeared to prosecute her.
His lordship having summed up the evidence,
The jury found the prisoner not guilty.

MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE
YOUTH AND SECRET INFIRMITIES OF
MATURITY.

Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c.
AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on
m. the various disorders of the nervous and generatiVe system,
resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro-
duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema-
ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis-
eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience
in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist-
ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in
existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous
Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitfhl Marri-
ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their
endless modifications owe their almost entire origin.
It is absolutely necess that
management)al men should know that there are
principles of personal which cannot be violated without
incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its consequenc es may be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any decree of physical indrmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure
DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged
in an extensive practice in the treatment of hese delicate co m-
ess
plaints, and is the only legally qualified rhysicitan who, regardl
of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had
the confidence, through the medium of the public press. to direct
attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is
tree. In selecting thi department of practice, he has been amply
rex arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the
treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the
care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated
publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues
of their patent nostrnins, have inflicted serious injury on those who
have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

permitted in the towns, [a freer dispensation of
licenses at the diggings might be made without
detriment to morality, and would render the illicit
sale of spirits less profitable.
The regularity with which large quantities of
gold are brought down to Melbourne proves, how-
ever, that the diggers do not allow their labour to
be interrupted by such incidents. By a return sub-
joined it will be seen that the produce of the Vic-
toria
goldfields continues rather to increase than
diminish. The richest or best-worked diggings
are evidently at Mount Alexander. As long as the
yield in Victoria continues so great no change in
the gold regulations of New South Wales will bring
the 0-old seekers back to the northern fields. It is
quite possible the Sydney diggings may be no less
rich than those of the south ; nothing is more ca-
pricious than the manner in which gold is distri-
buted. But to become popular they must furnish
some counter-temptation to announcements like the
following, taken from the last Geelong Adver-
tiser :
" Mr. Esmond, the first discoverer of gold in Victoria,
has just brought into Geelong a splendid specimen found
in White Horse Gully, Ballarat, of the estimated weight
of 60 ounces. It was found at 54 feet depth, in a seam
of quartz running horisontally beneath a hard conglo-
merate of slate and quartz blended. The specimen re-
sembles those masses found at Canadian Gully. The
colour, shape, and fragmentary appearance of the quartz
are the counterparts in every respect of those found at
the Canadian. WhitelHorse Gully is close to Yuide's
home station, and on the Ballarat side of the dividing
range."

Some of the miners now use gunpowder to loosen
a bed of conglomerate from five to ten feet thick,
which has to be cut through in the works at the
White Hills and Ballarat. The ' cradle,' the first
and simplest contrivance for washing the stuff, is
being superseded by machines that wash greater
quantities more thoroughly ; the long Tom' is an
enlarged cradle, and the ' sluice ' is a still more ef-
fective arrrngement for parties sufficient in number
to work it. The whole process is gradually be-
coming one that requires a certain degree of skill,
and that of a kind which must be acquired on the
spot ; even in discovering the most likely places for
claims, geological knowledge is often baffled where
a sort of local instinct succeeds. It is the recom-
mendation of one of the scientific authorities of the
colony that persons who have read up their geology
for the article gold,' with a view to the diggings,
had better, on arriving there lay all their science
on the shelf as soon as possible.'
The following return gives the quantity of gold
delivered from the Victoria fields, at Melbourne,
by the Government and private escorts, in the firs/
four months of the present year :

Ounces.
~ 186,015
. 172,329
.. 169,654
~ 161,431

Total
In the corresponding months of 1852 the produce
of the same fields was as follows :

Ounces.
64,834
56,108
51,865
67,556

.... 240,363

The increase is 449,066 ounces above the produce
of the same period, last year, or 187 per cent. But
it should be remembered the fields are now more
extensive, and worked by a greater number of per-
sons. There is no indication that the yield is fall-
ing off ; another return gives the quantity brought
down in the last two months from the several
diggings :
