COLONIAL ItEFOICM DINNER

Last night about fifty gentletner, friends of colonial
reform, dined together at the Trafalgar Hotel, Green-
wich. The company included many of the chief friends
of an improved colonial administration. Sir William
Molesworth, M.P., presided, supported by Lord Lyt-
telton, Lord Monteagle, Lord Naas, M.P., the Ho-
nourable F. Bsring, Mr. Miles, M.P., Mr. Baillie,
M.P., Mr. J. A. Smith, M.P., the Honourable F. Scott,
M.P., Mr. Adderley, M.P., Mr. Milnes' M.P., Mr. E. G.
Wakefield, Mr. Horsman, M.P., Mr. Hutt, M.P., Mr.
Aglionby, M.P., Mr. Cobden, M.l'., Mr. Bass, Mr. M.
Gibson, M.P., Mr. Monsell, .P., Mr. M. J. O'Connell,
M.P., Mr. Mangles, M.P., Mr. Godley, Mr. Higgins, Mr.
Mackay, Mr. Michell, &c. Lord Lincoln, Lord Talbot.
Mr. Disraeli, Mr. Hume, Mr. Ellice, Mr. Stafiorci, and
Mr. Napier were unavoidable absent.
The usual loyal and constitutional toasts wero first
drank. The toast of " The Army and Navy" was not
spoken to, but several gentlemen amused themselves with
callitz for Mr. Cobden.

Sir W. MOLESWORTH, in proposing " Prosperity and
good government to the Colonies," noticed various
circumstances which were causing colonial affairs to
occupy a very considerable portion of the attention of
all class Ls—the great amount of emigration, the change
in our commeicial system, the writings of eminent
and distinguished me n who had carefully studied the
subject with a view of relieving cur economical difficul-
ties, and the demands made of late years upon the public
purse, in respect of the colonies; in the last twenty years
we had expended 100,000,0001. upon our colonies,
and yet they did not contain above 1,600,000 Eng-
lish or Irish people. In the past session
more questions than ever affecting the colonies were
trought under consideration. The Hon. Baronet brie fly
tan through the history of them, concluding with the
Australian Colonies Bill, the postp:inewent of which he
conceived would produce great discontent and dissatisfac-
tion, especially in Van Diemen's Land. Year atter
year the most solemn promises of free institutions had
been made, but only to be broken.—(Hear, hear.)
There was a conviction in this country that there were
grave errors in our system of colonial goverment,
a system secret and irrespon,ible,— a system
that must be said to be characeriated by ignorance-,
r. ft;ligence, and vacilla-ion.—(flear, hear.) slow was
the system to be reformed? Why, free institutions must
be freely bestowed upon all colonies which were fit for
self-government. The distinction must be carefully
drawn between imperial and local questions, and the lat-
ter must be left entirely at the disposal of the local L,—
gislaturc.—(Hear, hear.) lie would call upon Lord
Monteagle to respond to the toast—the Noble Lord who
founded the free colony of South Australia.—(Hear.)
Load MONTEAGLE begged to say that, without dis-
puting the charges of ignorance and negligence brought
against the CAonial- office, he must, as far as he was
concerned, repudiate the charge of vacillation, for he was
not at the Colonial-office long enough to allow of his
changing his mind,—(Laughter.) It he had a pleasant
recollection of that office, it was connected with South
Australia. He "sat by Ls cradle," and bad watched
its progress— _

-64 From good to better, daily self-surpass'd."
Those were strangely mistaken who referred its pros-
perity to its mineral and other productions. There was
something in it superior to copper, or silver, or gold—
(Hear, hear)—something without which its mineral
wealth would be but dross.—(Hear .be,r.) The Noble
Lord concluded by proposing " The reform of our
Colonial Policy," requesting Lord Lyttelton to speak to
that toast.

Lord LITTELTON presumed that both himself and
the Noble Lord were supposed qualaied to discuss the
delinquencies of the Colonial-office on the principle
"set u thief to catch a thiet."—(A laugh.) The over-
whelming multiplicity of details in that depart-
ment was such as to make it impossible for the
Colonial Secretary to form a well-considered opinion
upon the subjects that came before him. Everything
was referred to that office, to be tinkered and patched
here. It was becoming absolutely necessary to lay down
some limitation and rule as to what matters should be
reserved for imperial control—a question surely not
impossible to be settled, with the aid of the writings of
such men as Mr. Wakefield and Mr. Roe-buck, and the
example of the United States, and indeed of our own
iGinodveartn,dmteonrt, thwehAen fustrr4aimiainngeociuonnlsetsi.t_uti(ounts,ufrb,r New Z
hear.)
Theea
Noble Lord proposed "Local self government for our
Colonies."

Some toasts then followed, having a more particular
and special reference. Mr. F. Baring brought betore the
company the case of New Zealand; Mr. Godley respond-
ing. Mr. M. Milne& rendered a graceful tribute to the
memory of Mr. C. Buller. Mr. Aglionby proposed
•` the Health of the Chairman;" Mr. F. Scott " Success
Emigration;" Mr. Baillie, " the Better Government of
the Crown Colonies;" Mt. Horsman " Successful Emi-
gration from Ireland ;" Mr. Adderley "Freedom to
Australia." The case of Canada was appropriately com •
mitted to Mr. Mackay.
The proceedings lasted to a rather bite hour.

ACCIDENT TO Ma. COWAN, M.P.—We learn that
this gentleman met with a severe accident on Thursday
is.t. Mr. Cowan, it app.ars, was on his way to dine with
the Town Council at litrkhitl, the country residence
of the Lord Provost, when the horse upon which he
was riding either stumbled or fell, when we regret to
say, he wee thrown upon the road with such nolence,
chat he lay for some time i a state of insensibllity. He
vva-4 carried into a house I ! the village of Carrington,
and medical aid being promptly at band, the Hon. mi tu-
ber soon recovered so much that he was enabled to
return home thet evening, and we understand that he is
now nearly well again.—Scotsman.
THE RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR AND THE AMERICAN
POLICE.—On inauguiation day the arrangems nt was to
admit no carriages at the north gate of the capitol
(Washington), and the Foreign Ministers were obliged
to alight and enter on foot. All did this with becoming
grace until the arrival of Bodisco, the Rie site Mini,ter,
who, in his excessive dignity, ordered the gate to be
opened to admit his carriage. Nobody obeyed, " Send for
the police!" shouted the exasperated Russian. An offi-
cer presented himself. " Open this gate directly, si !"
Police: " Shan't do it, sir."—Bodisco: "I am a foreign
minister!"—P.: " Can't help that, sir"—B.: " I am
the minister from the Russian Ceurt!"—P.: " The Pre-
sident of the United States can't drive his carriage
through this gate to-day, sir."—B.: " I shall report
you, sir!"—P.: "Report and be d—d, sir!"—B.: " flow
shall I get in?"—P.: "On foot, sir." So the discomfited
minister was compelled to alight and foot it ingloriously
through thecrowd.—New England Wasl.
ungtontan (U.S.)
COINING BY WIIOLESALE.—A Frenchman, named
Joseph Forcade, was examined before Colmel Elwood,
at Cuckfield, Sussex, on Saturday, on the double charge
of stabbing a policeman and uttering counterfeit coin.
According to the evidence, the prisoner went into the
Green Cross public-house and called for a glass of ale,
in payment for which he tendered a half-crown. The
landlord at once discovered that it was a counterfeit, and
the prisoner then paid for his ale with three halfpence.
Information of the circumstance having been given to
the East Sussex constabulary, one of the constables,
Tullett by name, went after the prisoner and took him
into custody. The prisoner attempted to escape, and
drew a knife, with which he made two thrusts at the
officer, but, fortunately, without doing any mischief
besides spoiling his clothes and slight!) grazing his side.
On being search( d there were found on him two Wt.,
sovereigns, 19 halt crowns, 27 shillings, and fouelptx.
pences, besides a number of threepenny and fourpenny
pieces, all counterfeit. He had also in his poese,si,,,
BO pieces of counterfeit Austrian co, and a book and
papers giving instructions for imitating
.various metals
and casting spurious cow. The examination was carried
on through the medium of a niece of the magistrate,
who acted as interpreter. The prisoner Was committed
for trial on both charges.

LEICESTER TRADE.—The firmnes3 in the worsted
and cotton yarns we noticed last week is fully a in-
tained—cotton yarns, indeed, Lave advanced a shilling a
bundle, aLd there is an upwani tendency in worsted.
Employment also continues general, and we are glad to
hear that the LeiceNter glove-hands, having come to an
arrangement with their employers, are returning trp work
at itdyttlaced prices,--Liicutershire Mercury.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
HOME ClRCUlT.—C'helmgfo✓d. July 18.
CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON and a
Sp-cial Jury.)
BAKER V. RUSK.

This was a penal action, brought by the plaintiff,
John Baker, to recover from the defendant, George
Rusk, two separate penalties of 5001. for unlawfully cor-
rupting Edward Saxby, a voter for the borough of Har-
wich, to give his vo,e to Mr. Atwood, at the election for
that boroigli its 1847,
Mr. M. ChamberN, Mr. Bramwell, and Mr. Rodwell
were for the plaintiff; Sergeant Shee, Mr. Edwin Jame.,
and Mr. Willis were for the defendant.

Mr. CHAMBERS, in opening the case, said that the de-
fendant was chargl d with havteg committed two dis-
tinct acts of bribery at the election for Harwich for
1847, first by promising a voter, named Saxby, to pay a
debt which he owed, upon condition of his voting for
Mr. Atwood; and, secondly, by actually paying the
amount he had promised, with the same obj- et. Mr.
Atwood was a candidate for the representation of
Harwich in 1847, and at this time it appeared that
one of the voters, named Edward Saxby, was indebted
to a person named Grice, in the sum of 411., and wheat
which belonged to him had been seized as security
for the debt, and was in the possession of an auctioneer
named Hales. This voter was applied to to support Mr.
Atwood at the election, and he bad some conversation
with another voter named Truudell, and it appeared that
some application was made to Mr. Atwood respecting
the position of the voter, and before the election took
place Saxby went to Loudon, and he saw the defendant
at an office in Birchin-lane, and the waiter was there
tale d over, Mr. Atwood being, as he was instructed, in
an adjoining room, and aware of what was going on,
and the result was, as he had no doubt he should be able
to prove by evidence, that an understanding was come
to, that if Saxby voted for Mr. Atwood his debt should
be paid, and his boat released. Shortly after this in-
terview, the d&endant wrote a letter to Mr. Hales, the
gentleman in whose charge the boat was, wherein he
stated that he had accidently seen Saxby, who was a
perfect stranger to him, and that as he seemed to be an
honest man, it would be a pity that his boat, which
he represented to be worth a great deal more than
the debt, should be sacrificed, he offered to pay a
sum of 101, down, and to be answerable for the
payment of the remainder of the debt by instalments of
51. per month. The Learned Counsel proceeded to state
that this offer was acceded to, and the money was paid
as agreed, and the boat was delivered up in pursuance of
. the corrupt agreement that had been entered into, and
when the election came on Saxby voted for Mr. Atwood,
who was returned one of the Members for the borough.
In all probability nothing more would have been heard
respecting the transaction if it had not been for the tact
of a petition being presented against the return of Mr.
Attwood. When it became known, however, that a pe-
tition was to be presented with a view to unseat that gen-
tleman, it appeared that the defendant applied to Saxby
to give him a bill of sale of the vessel, and on his making
some objection to do so, the defendant told him that he
need not be alarmed, for it was only a matter of form,
as the transaction otherwise might affect Mr. Atwood's
seat, and the payment of the money would never be
enforced, and upon this understanding Saxby executed
a bill of sale to the defendant. Saxby was subse-
quently examined before the Committee of the House
of Commons, and the result of the inquiry was
that Mr. Atwood was unseated, and then the voters
toiled the danger and mischief that was incurred by
being mixed up in such transactions, for immediately
the result of the decision of the Parliamentary Com-
mittee was made known the bill of sale was put in force
egainst him, and the boat was sold for 201., and Saxby
was thus prevented from obtaining a livelihood. It was
under these circumstances that the present action was
brought against the defendant, and although the witness
Saxby, upon whose evidence the case would mainly
depend, undoubtedly stood in the position of an accom-
plice, and his evidence ought therefore to be confirmed,
yet, he said, it appeared to him that it would receive
such material confirmation as would satisfy the jury that
the deten ant had committed the acts imputed to him.
The Learned COUNSEL having celled Saxby and
several other witnesses, closed his case; when
Mr. Sergeant SLIEE took a technical (rejection, which
Mr. Baron Alderson held to be fatal, and a verdict was
returned for the defendant.

OXFORD Cif GUIT.— Worcester, July 17.
CHU WN COURT.—(I3O m R
.ore —T. —droll ...eLFE.)
William Williams, 51, was indicted for having ob-
tained 15/. by false pi etences from Thomas Holland, at
Upton-on Severn, on the 23d of June, with intent to
cheat and defraud him of the same.
Mr. Cooke prosecuttd, and Mr. Skinner defended the
prisoner.

It appeared that the prisoner went to the prosecutor,
a solici.or at Upton, who scorned to judge men by their
appearance, and rj quested him to become his attorney,
agent, and the receiver of his rents, as he was come into
possession of a fine estate, called Llandissilloo Hall, in
Denbighshire, with an income of 8,0001. a year, and
was about to purchase property in the neighbourhood for
4,5001 He also said that Mr. Temple, Q.C., of Salt-
ney, near Cho-seer, had forty thousand pounds of his
(the prisoner's) Money in his hands. This took place
at the house of Mr. Goodman, the surgeon, and after-
wards other conversations between the parties oc-
curred at Holland's offices, the result of which was
that Mr. Holland was induced to let his client"
have the sum named in the indictment to pay his work-
men until he received a remittance from Temple, who
'was in the Isle of Mau. Mr. Holland afterwards awoke
from his dream, and de,ired the prisoner to accompany
him to Ssltney, which he did, where they saw Mr.
Temple, who at once negatived the prisoner's statements,
and said he had never heard of him until about a fort-
night previously, when a Mr. Dalgaish, of Dudley, called
him with a similar tale, but he had never seen the
prisoner before in his lire, and no doubt he was a
,vvindlur, so that the prosecutor had been impehed
up, n ; on which Williams said, " end I think I
have befit impos•cd on myself." It seemed that the who!e
of the people of Upt,,,n were lab,urtfig under a want of
mental perception at the time, as he was designated "the
Squire," and was courted on all sides. He said the
estates were recovered at the previous Denbigh Assizes,
and he hsd spent every shilling he was worth in trying
to obtain them. When taken into custody he had not a
penny in his pocket.

Atter a defence from Mr. Skinner, the prisoner was
round Guilty, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment

IVESTERN ClRCUlT—Dorchester, July 17.
John roomer, 38, was indicted for attempting to dis-
charge a loaded gun at Henry Collins, with intent to kill
and murder him, on the 4th of December, 1842.
It appeared that on the night in question three keepers
(Line, Smith, and the prosecutor Collins) went out to
watch the preserves of their employer, J. J. Farquhar-
son, of Langton. Hearin:,► parties about in the wood
they separated, and Smith enter, d Hernsgrove Copse,
where he found (as he swor4) the prisoner and another
man under a hedge. They instantly attacked him, beat-
ing him atn.ut his head with the butt end of a gun, and
afterwards kicking his teeth out. He called fur assist•
ante and Collin% Came', at whom the prisoner presented
a gun and snapped the lock, fortunately without the con-
tents exploding. He and his comrade then went off,
1, aving the gun behind ; and the prisoner was seen no
more until about a month since, when he was pointed
out on coming out of a Methodist chapel at Fontmell,
and was at once apprehended. 'rue gun was shown to a
carpenter named Edwards, who recognised it as one that
he had put a new stock to at the re quest of the prisoner.
On his behalf, however, it was shown that on the night
of the transaction there was no moon, and that when he
returned into Dorset, men who had known him for years
could not recognise him. The gamekeepers had never
seen him before the night in question, and he received a
very good character.

Verdict—Not Guilty.
Considerable interest bad been manifested in this
county to hear the trial of the cause " Hingeston v. Sir
Fitzroy Kelly," which had been sent down again by the
Court of Exchequer, and which (our readers will re-
member) was an action against the ex-Solicitor-General
for services rendered to him at the late Lyme election.
The cause, however, was compromised.
A labourer named George Lorsh, 48 years of age. was
indicted for committing wilful and corrupt perjury.
Although the assignment of perjury was comparatively
insignificant, the consequences of it, bad been very
serious.

It appear, d that at the Dorset October Sessions a
girl named Eliza Brockway was prosecuted by the pri-
,uner for rot.biug him of some money on the 19th of
August. He was the sole witness, and the girl was
fiund guilty and sentenced to seven bears' transporta-
tion. Her solicitor, Mr. G. Chitty, in a very praise-
worthy spit-it, got up a case and carried it to the Home
Secretary, who commuted the sentence of transports.
awl to twelve months' imprisonment, and on the girl's
innocence becoming clearer, gave her a tree pardon,
The only point up'n which perjury was assign, d was
he question of the prisoner's condition on the day men-
tioned. The question whether he was robbed by the
girl was not raised.

Several witnesses now disproved his statement, and
the girl Brockway swore that she did not rob him, that
she did not even see him on the night in question.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and having been
four months already in prison, he, was sentenced to a
further imprisonment of eight months.

NORTHERN CIItCUL J.' —York, July 17.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Air. Justice WIGNTMAN.)
Thomas Proctor, a youth of 18, was charged with the
manslaughter of his brother, WilliainProctor, at Runs.
let, near Leeds, on the 24th of March last.
The prisoner and the deceased were brothers, and at
the period of the unfortunate occurrence were employed
as farm labourers at Woodlesturd, a distance of three
miles from their own residence. The deceased got up a
few minutes before the prisoner, and having finished his
breakfast desired the latter to come off to his work. The
prisoner said, " Thou hardly gives me time to swallow
my meat." This gave rise to a quarrel, and the de-
ceased, after &titling up his shirt sleeves, came round
and struck the prisoner five or six times. The latter
having the knife with which he was in the act of finish-
ing bis breakfast still in his hand, unfortunately struck
his brother with it, and the blade, after passing through
the lower part of the left ear, entered the neck and
pierced the carotid artery. Instantly that it was si,t,ll
what had happened, the prisoner ran off for a surgeon,
and from the moment of the occurrence be has sincerely
and deeply regretted the effects of the blow. Sentence
deferred.

CIVIL COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice PATTESON and
a Special awl.)
THE QUEEN V. OLEDOW BOND, AND OTHERS.

This was an indictment prosecuted by the Solicitor
of Customs against the defendants, for conspiring not
to seize a vessel called the Rising Sun, in which a large
cargo at tobacco had been smuggled on the 25th of
Jule, 1846.
_

The defendants pleaded Not guilty.
Mr. Martin (Mr. Watson, Mr. (Ater, and Mr. sey-

mour) stated the case for the Crown. He said the de-
fendant Gledow was a tide-surveyor at Hull, under Go'
vernment; that he agreed with Bond not to seize the
vessel, but to suffer her to escape, on the 26th of Jlll9,
1846; that he seized the tobacco, and agreed to share the.
reward. Enormous quantities of tobacco were seized
near Hull, but seldom any vessel was seized. Bond was
the registered owner of the Rising Sun. On the 29th
of July she came to Aldhorough; and it was Bond, tite
owner, who gave the information. She contained
4.0501e5. of tobacco. Burton superintended the run'
ning of the tobacco, and Gledow came upon him while
doing so.
Mr. Thomas Wright said he was a collector at Roll
for eight years, and till April last. Gledow's duty Was
to board all vessels, and to seize uncustomed and probi;
bited goods. Many seizures were made in 1846 art°
1847. He knc whe was the owner of the Rising Sue.
The tobacco from the Rising Sun was brought to the
Custom-house on the 29th of July. Gledow said 1.1
came from Aidborough; he said nothing of the vessel 16
came from. The rewards for seizure may be 3s. 211 per,,.
pound it the ship, men, end tobacco were seized, is. 8°
if tobacco alone. Gledow was removed in 1848. Glade/
said that he got trio information from Bond about afe,
tobacco. Gledow got 2891. 9s. by that transaction•
the vessel and crew had been captured, his share wow e
have been 635/. He bore a good character, and most e'
the seizures of consequence were made by him in 18451
6, and 7.
d i° Thomas Burton, a chemist, said he was engage
smuggling transactions in 1845, in the Bever. She
hroue,ht in a cargo of tobacco in that year to Ferribl._
He had known Gledow many a year. e,hortly after th,°,
above transaction he met him at North Cate. WituesB!
wife was with him. Gledow came to the inn where
they put up. Witness was not in, but afterwards Wet
ed
him at a public-house. He said he could have sett d
the Rising Sun, the wagger], and everything, if he 13°,1
thought proper. He sand he wished witness would 087

bring a ergo 'of tobacco to a place near Aldboroak°

Rising Sun did arrive on the 29th Jul

about 100 yards from shore. Witness d seven or eight
men besides the captain, mate, and four men of the ves-
sel, were engaged in unloading. Twenty bales were
landed there, and the rest was to be landed about a 811:
below. Gledow appeared on the cliff in sight of tu"
vessel. Ire cried, hullo! is that you? He said, Burl
I have a dead information against you; you are in hail
hands; if you will lend me every assistance to seize t°o
goods it will be a good thing for you,and I will hold Y%
harmless. Witness said he would leave them, and w,..ele3d
away. He afterwards saw the defendant, and asked
him how many bales he had seized. He answered fortYci
four. Witness told him there were many more, 8°
if he would give him the reward, and hold him bar°
less, he would show where they were. Gledow ,:
