PASTORAL RUNS IN VICTORIA.

Sir J. PAKINGTON asked the Under Secretary for
the Colonies, whether it is the intention of her Majesty's
Government to propose any alteration of the order in
council under which the tenants of pastoral runs, in the
colony of Victoria, are entitled to claim leases, or to
send any new instructions to the governor on the sub-
ject of those leases ; and whetherhe would lay on the table
of the house all corresp6ndence which has taken place
between the Colonial-office and the Governor of Victoria,
with respect to the rights and claims of the holders of
licenses for the occupation of such lands.
Mr. F. PEEL said this was one of the most import-
ant and difficult questions at present under the conside-
ration of the Government with respect to the Colonies.
He was unable to say what course they would take, but
it was their intention to dispose of it before the waste
lands were handed over to the local legislature, and all
papers would be laid on the table which were necessary
to enable Parliament to form an opinion upon the
subject.

PRUSSIA.

The speech addressed by the Emperor Napoleon
to the legislative body, on the 14th inst., has pr -
duced a most excellent effect in all quarters. It
has contributed in a great measure to soften the
evil impressions created by the marriage oration.
The Prussian First Chamber has passed a bill,
declaring that the oaths taken by juries at the
commencement of each assize shall be valid during
the whole of the sitting, in lieu of the oaths being
renewed at the commencement of each separate

case.
The treaty concluded in July, 1851, between
Prussia and the Netherlands, for the construction
of a railway line from Oberhausen to Amheim
(Dutch Rhenan), has been published.

AUSTRIA.

Baron Gehringee has been appointed Minister of
Commerce, in the room of M. Baumgartner, who
will continue for the present to hold the office of
Minister of Finance.

That the disturbances in Milan were more for-
miaable than the public had been led to believe, is
evident from the telegraphic accounts received from
Verona, reporting the extraordinary measures taken
by the Sardinian Government for repressing the
revolutionary fever among emigrants, who, to the
number of 700, made an attempt to cross the fron-
tier and join the insurgents at Milan. They were
all disarmed at Stradella. This friendly act on the
part of a neighbouring State so lately at war with
Austria has caused lively satisfaction to the Con-
servative party, and a general improvement in the
fur ds is expected as the inevitable result of the
news.
London, England, 1853-02-18

ITALY.

Milan has completely returned to order since the
late deplorable outbreak of the 6th. Tho inhabi-
tants, who had at first felt solaced by the proclama-
tion of Count Strasoldo, are now completely cowed
and in dismay at the edict of Field-Marshal Ra-
detzky, which levies an exorbitant amount of taxa-
tion on the capital of Lombardy. Count Giulay,
who left Milan for Florence two days previous to
the riots, has returned to his post.
Things have come to such a pass in this part of
Italy, that the two extreme parties combine in
making life insupportable to the' peaceably-dis-
posed portion of the inhabitants. The deputation
who purposed proceeding to Milan, to intercede
with Count Radetzky, in order to obtain a mitiga-
tion in the enormous taxation inflicted on Milan as
a punishment for the late attempt at insurrection,
have not been permitted to depart. Advantage
seems to have been taken of this outbreak for ob-
taining an enormous sum from the Milanese, who,
though anti-Austrian in their hearts, had no part
in the disgraceful stabbing scenes of the 6th.
Three of the officers wounded on the 6th have
since died. An investigation has been instituted
with respect to the citizens who give alms, some
suspicions having arisen that a portion of this
money went to aliment the revolutionists. Theatres,
operas, and every species of public amusements,
have been stopped, and the stillness of the dead
has spread over the late gay capital of Lombardy.
The carnival has this year died an unnatural death,
the execution of eleven men coming in as the finale.
The provinces are quiet, and have remained undis-
turbed, and the outbreak of the Gth has remained
local, notwithstanding Signor Mazzini's promise to
be with the insurgents on the morrow.
The proclamation of Kossuth is generally con-
sidered apocryphal.
The 9th has passed tranquilly at Rome.

voting a reply to the Throne. No new
Peers had
yet been created, but the Duke of Saldanha had
been to the Palace upon the subject, although still
far from well ; and, unless the Puke should have
another relapse, it was thought the Queen wouid
create the Peers necessary to vote the different acts
of dictature in spite of the intrigues of Don Manoel
de Portugal and other adherents of the last
Thomar Administration.
The Lisbon Government had announced that
the railway company had- not been able to com-
plete the deposit and list of shareholders in com-
pliance with the provisional concession, and .
Hislop had embarked in the Iberia for England,
with the allowance of another 40 days to comply
with these conditions, or forfeit the preliminary
deposit. The Minister of Finance had stated in
the Cortes that the non-issuing of railway shares
in London was not attributable to the conversion
decree and discredit of the Government, but that
its credit was so good that many other com-
panies,
wanting to make the railway, had intrigued against
Mr. Hislop's project, and prevented it from getting
shareholders.

TELLERS

cheerfully pay duties on spirits that had eva-
porated or been otherwise wasted, while their
foreign competitors are exempted from the un-
fair exaction. Mr. GLADSTONE may lash him-
Belf into a high state of virtuous indignation,
but he will still find men who neither deprecate
his frowns nor seek his favour.

We have so ofi;nTex-PoSecithe gross and pall3a"
ble injustice of the Hop Duties, that it is urine'
cessary to recapitulate the numerous unanswerable
arguments that have been adduced against their
continuance. Suffice it to 'say, that the practical
operation of the impost amounts to neither more
nor less than confiscation—a confiscation of three-
fourths, or possibly nine-tenths, of the -value of
the land on which the crop will grow. What
reason can there be for seizing on so large 3
proportion of the value of 'the producer as
nearly one-third, and that, too, of a description
requiring extraordinary care and attention, and
necessarily a great outlay on labour ? The simple
fact, that the tax on 26 acres on which hops were
grown, amounted to more than the rent of an
enti re farm of 503 acres, of which these very 26
acres constituted a portion, exhibits the griernlic°
in The -very strongest point of view. As well DA'
nine-tenths of the lands in any particular district'
or of any particular landowner, be seized for State
purposes without compensation, and the apprePri"
atio n defended, as may the imposition of the 11°P
Duties be be justified.
The Hon. Member for East Sussex has end'
nen tip entitled himself to the thanks of his c°11"
stituents and of the community in general, for the,
temp erate statements in which he so clearly 901
unanswerably exposed the injustice and impolicl
of the iniquitous impost ; and the support
he re ceivedfrom Mr. MIME and Mr. BRIGHT, shows
that the Joint-Stock Administration are melon-.
ing without their host if they suppose that the
admission of Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH to a seat
in the Cabinet will ensure the support of the
Liberal party, under any and every circumstance'

SIR HENRY LYTTON BIILWER.—This gentleman had
a narrow escape with his life, a few day since, while de-
scending the Rhono from Avignon to Lyons, in one of
the ordinary passage steamers. The boiler burst, and
the vessel sank in the river. Sir Henry, with other pas-
sengers, swam for their lives, and the former was much
exhausted on reaching the shore. Sir Henry is in a very
delicate state of health, and it is feared that the accident
May seriously retard his recovery.

LONDON AND NORTII-WESTERN RAILWAY.
(THIS DAY.)

The half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders of
this company was held this day, at 12 o'clock,, in the
large room at the station—Major-General Anson, M.P.,
was in the chair.
In the report which was submitted to the meeting the
directors recommended a dividend of 2/. 10s. per cent.
for six months, which would amount to 533,155/. 18s.
6d., leaving a balance of 92,7861. is. 10d. to be carried
forward to the next half-yearly account.
The CHAIRMAN, in the course of his address, which
occupied nearly an hour in its delivery, said, though
they were enabled to give as high a dividend as at the
last meeting, the position and prospects of the company
were on the whole very favourable.
The report, after some discussion, was adopted, and a
dividend declared as stated above.
•

A full report of the proceedings will appear in our
next edition.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.--(THIS DAY.)

CANTERBURY.

This Commitee met again this morning at eleven
o'clock. .

William Pickering—Had been a freeman 'of Can-
terbury two or three years. ,Had 'been canvassed by
Edward Knell to vote for Messrs. Johnstone and Gibbs.
Had seen a large flag at the committee at Ward's. Had
been referred to Taylor for a messenger's place. Taylor
had told him that he should be paid from the time he
had promised his vote. Had gone,for a colourman's
ticket to Ward's committee on the nomination day.
Was told to send some one who was not a freeman.
Gave the paper to a person named Johnson. Johnson
brought back two tickets.
Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAM—Had
been charged with felony and convicted. This was in
1846. Had been after in trouble for petty things. The
paper given to Smith had the name of Rogers upon it.
Kept Rogers' ticket for himself.

AUSTRIA.

Baron Gehringee has been appointed Minister of
Commerce, in the room of M. Baumgartner, who
will continue for the present to hold the office of
Minister of Finance. ..

That the disturbances in Milan were more for-
midable than the public had been led to believe, is
evident from the telegraphic accounts received from
Verona, reporting the extraordinary measures taken
by the Sardinian Government for repressing the
revolutionary fever among emigrants, who, to the
number of 700, made an attempt to cross the fron-
tier and join the insurgents at Milan. They were
all disarmed at Stradella. This friendly act on the
part of a neighbouring State so lately at war with
Austria has caused lively satisfaction to the Con-
servative party, and a general improvement in the
funds is expected as the inevitable result of the
news. _ _

LATEST FOREIGN NEWTS

FRANCE.

It appears from the reports which a great num-
ber of prefects have made to the Conseils Gene raux,
that the fears which existed respecting the harvest
are altogether groundless. The quantity of grain
this year is of average amount, acid the quality is
excellent.

An anniversary service for the soul of Louis
Philippe was performed yesterday in the chapel of
St. Ferdinand, at Neuilly, in the presence of the
friends and servants of the late king.
A letter from Belgrade of the 14th announces
the expulsion from Servia of several refugees, who
had been convicted. of anarchical intrigues. The
country was tranquil.
It was rumoured on Saturday that explanations
would be demanded by the Belgian Government
relative to the long article which appeared the
other day in the Constitutionnel on the marriage
of the Duke of Brabant. It was a critique on a
pamphlet published in Paris under the signature
"Un Beige," to which reference was made in The
Sun on Thursday.
London, England, 1853-08-29

PORTLAND BREAKWATER.

Before entering into the different questions which are of
interest with reference to the results of the discipline and
management of Portland Prison, it may be convenient
briefly to advert to the further object of constructing a
breakwater, for the formation of a harbour of refuge in
Portland Roads, and to the mode of carrying on the work.
The attention of the Government was called to the sub-
ject of " Harbours of Refuge" in 1843 ; and, in conse-
quence of the recommendation of a select committee of the
House of Commons, a commission was appointed to in-
quire into the most eligible situation for forming a har-
bour or harbours of refuge in the Channel.
The great natural advantages of Portland Bay—its im-
portant relative position—and the facilities for accom-
plishing the proposed object, could not fail to claim the
attention of the commissioners, who stated in their report
—" Our next and last visit was to Portland, which, from
from its situation with reference to the Channel Islands,
and as the boundary of the narrow part of the Channel in
this direction, came naturally within the range of investi-
gation."
The result was, the recommendation of the commis-
sioners " that a breakwater be constructed in Portland
Bay, sheltering an area of 1,200 acres."
The quarries which produce the well-known Portland
stone are situated on the summit of the island, from 300 to
400 feet above the level of the sea ; and the best End of
stone, such as has been used in the construction of St.
Paul's, Whitehall, and other buildings, lies under several
strata of hard but inferior quality. The quarries were in
consequence encumbered with vast piles of refuse stone,
which had been removed for getting out the " best bed, '
as it is termed. This debris is made use of in the con-
struction of the breakwater, and some of the coarse beds
are quarried for the same purpose.
The stone is removed from the quarries by means of
several lines of railways, which are arranged in a series of
inclined planes, from the summit to the point where the
breakwater joins the shore. The waggons are raised and
lowered by wire ropes, working on "drums" placed at the
head of each "incline," the loaded train in its descent
drawing up the empty one from the breakwater.
.The waggons, previously to being lowered down the in-
cline, pass over self-registering weigh-bridges, by which
the precise quantity of stone sent down is ascertained.
The convicts, besides constructing all the branch lines
into the quarries, repair the " plant," and are otherwise
usefully employed, and will be enabled when the arrange-
ments are complete to send down 1,500 to 2,000 tons of
stone a day or two.
The expense of constructing this great national work,
securing a naval station in time of war, or affording shelter
and safety to the commercial marine in the long line of coast
extending from Plymouth and Torbay to Portsmouth and
the Downs, might in consequence be greatly reduced, as
almost the whole of the works might be executed by con-
vict labour.

DEATH OF SIR C. NAPIER.

We deeply regret to announce that we have
received word by electric telegraph that Sir C.
Napier expired this morning at five o'clock, with-
out suffering, at his seat, Oaklands, near Ports-
mouth.

AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA.

By the Royal Mail steamer Niagara, which ar-
rived at Liverpool yesterday, we have advices from
New York to the 16th inst., and Boston to the
17th inst. She has brought 92 passengers, but no
specie.

The America from Liverpool for Boston, was
passed about 70 miles from the latter port.
The weather was very hot at New York, the
thermometer ranging from 90 to 102. Upwards
of 200 persons died from the effects of the heat in
seven days.

The Washington correspondent of the New York
_Herald, writing on the 15th, says there can be no
doubt it was intended to send Mr. J. Dix to
France, but recent events have caused a change.
It is now settled that Mr. Dix shall not receive
the appointment. A difficulty is experienced in
finding a proper person. Mr. Dallas, Mr. M'Lane,
and General Bayley, are allmentioned.

The Kossta question is likely to assume a much
more important character than was at first antici-
pated. Mr. Marcy is already pledged to the posi-
tion, that the filing of a declaration of an intention
to become a citizen of the United States entitles
the individual to the protection of that Govern-
ment.

At New Orleans the yellow fever was raging with
great virulence ; the total number of deaths for the
week ending the 12th was 1,518, of which 1,277 were
from yellow fever ; on the 13th the deaths were 174
—153 from yellow fever.
Jamaica advices of the 28th ult., one day later,
are unimportant. There had been a good business
transacted in the New York stock-market. Erie
Railroad shares closed at 71f ; Parker Vein Com-
pany advanced 1/ ; Hudson River, 1 ; Reading
Railway, A. No alteration in the money-market.
Exchange on London, 104 to 1091 ; Paris, sf.
13/c. to sf. 15e. ; Amsterdam, 404 to 414 ; Frank-
fort, 40i to 41 : Bremen, 79f to 79i ; Hamburg,
36k to 36i.
Sellers of cotton had steadily supplied the de-
mand at 10/c. to 11c. for middling Upland, and
11c. to 11/c. per lb. for middling to good middling.
At New Orleans cotton had advanced kc. per lb.
Flour in good demand, at firm prices ; an advance
had been generally demanded, but buyers refused
to give it. No business of importance in wheat.
Indian corn dull, and lower. Pork firm, at $l5
54c. for mess, and $l2 75c. to 13$ for prime.
Beef in moderate demand, at $7 50c. to $lO for
country mess, and $l2 to $l2 50c. for Chicago
ditto. Lard dull, at lOic. to 104 c. Freights to
London.—Tobacco, 305. per hhd. ; flour, 3s. per
barrel ; measurement goods, 255. to 30s. per ton.

SECOND PROBATIONARY PERIOD ON PUBLIC

WORKS.
We now come to the consideration of the second proba-
tionary period of discipline on public works ; and as the
moral result of the discipline to which convicts are now
subjected during the period of their imprisonment mainly
depends upon the arrangements made for the men working
in association after a period of separate confinement, I
have felt more than ordinary interest and anxiety that it
should be placed on the most effective footing ; and with
this view I have spared no pains to render Portland a
model on which to form similar establishments.

House of Commons, was issued. The house sat 160
