THE BUSHRANGER OF VAN DIEMAN'S

" Tales of the Colonies," &c.
" These volumes have the same qualities that gained se much popu-
larity for the author's previous work, `Tales of the Colonies' No one
has depicted Colonial Life, as manifested in the settlements of Aus-
tralia, with so much vigour and truth as Mr. Rowcroft. He rather
seems to be a narrator of actual occurrences than an inventor of ima-
ginary ones. His characters, his manners, and his scenes, are all real.
He has been compared to De Foe, and the comparison is just.-

ROLL'S COUR l , March 28.

GRAY V. THE LIVERPOOL AND BURY RAILWAY COMPANY.
_This was a motion for an injunction, to restrain the
defendants, the Liverpool and Bury Railway Company,
from proceeding in the construction of their railway over
certain lands belonging to the plaintiffs, who were the
owners of cotton mills situate at Darcey Lever, in the
county of Lancaster. By the 93d section of the Rail-
way Act, it was enacted, that the Company should not,
in the construction of their railway, obstruct, or in any
manner injure, the goits belonging to the plaintiffs con-
nected with their mills and work... at Darcey Lever, under
a penalty of 7501. for each day of such obstruction. The
Company, without the consent of the plaintiffs, had en-
tered upon part of their land adjoining that on which
their mills were erected, and had marked out a line run-
ning from west to cast, which the plaintiffs contended
was contrary to the provisions of the Act. The defen-
dants contended that the line which had been marked
out would not interfere with the full enjoyment by the
plaintiffs of their mills and works.
This case came up on the 14th of this month, when,
at the suggestion of the Master of the Rolls, it was
arranged that, the motion should stand over, for the
purpose of effecting an amicable arrangement if possible.
This was, however, found to be impracticable, and the
arguments were continued this day.
Mr. Kindersley, Mr. Turner, and Mr. Bacon ap
peared for the plaintiffs ; and the Solicitor-General, Mr.
Rolt, and Mr. R. Palmer for the defendants.
HIS LORDSHIP considered that what the defendants
intended to do was contrary to the provisions of the
Act. They were bound to content the plaintiffs in the
line which they had adopted. This they had not done,
but had taken possession of the land, and marked out a
line which the plaintiffs thought would be detrimental
to their property. He should therefore grant the in-
junction.
The Courts of Chancery will not sit again until the
first day of Easter term.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, March 28,

SIR GEORGE LARPENT V. THE RICHMOND RAILWAY.

Mr. Bethel' applied for an exparte injunction on be-
half of Sir George Larpent to restrain the Richmond
Railway Company from taking possession of his land at
Putney. It appeared that the railway company had con-
tracted to purchase certain property, part of which was
attached to the plaintiff's mansion at Putney. The ab-
stract of title had been delivered, hut the conveyance of
the land had not been executed, and the purchasa-money
had not been paid.
The Vice• Chancellor granted the injunction to restrain
the railway company from taking possession of the land
until they should have completed the purchase and paid
the purchase• money.

STATE OF TRADE.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, MARCH 27.—Some de-
scriptions of Foreign Wool have been more in request this
week, but the demand generally is somewhat languid, and
sales limited to the requirements for immediate consumption.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, MARCH 2i.—The de-
mand for wool continues in the same languid state as for the
last few weeks, and prices may be quoted a shade lower.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARXIST, Blancii 27.—1 n short wool
we have little doing, but as stocks are small, prices are
better supported than for long wool, the demand for which is
exceedingly limited, consumers only buying to supply
er
imme-
diateLEEreDr_ireomnesntastuorndaryatthheerree reasvieerterramth mores.
goods sold
at the Cloth-halls than has been the case during the month,
but on Tuesday there was less business done. Notwithstand-
ing the dull markets, there is no great accumulation of goods
in the Halls, the manufacturers wisely continuing to limit
the production. Prices in consequence remain steady. Busi-
ness continues dull in the warehouses, and until the Tariff
Bill is settled, it is generally thought that there will be no
material improvement in trade.
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—The slackness in all
departments of our market still continues. For combing
wools the demand is extremely limited for the season ; for
short wools there is more request. Prices are very firm.
There is no improvement in the yarn market. A. very great
deal of machinery is standing idle. Prices remain the same.
For plain pieces the trade is steady, but very dull. There
was a good attendance of merchants, but they seemed in
most cases to be merely looking on. The opinion is most
emphatically expressed in oar market that the delay in the
settlement
the corn question is doing great injury to the
trade.
MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EYENUN*G.—It, is hardly possible
correctly to describe the extreme prostration of our cloth
market. Advises from all parts of the world represent the
markets as quite overstocked, and sales making at great
sacrifices, and to this must be added the daily large increase
of stocks in manufacturing hands. Hence there is a general
anxiety to sell, but it is impossible to effect sales to any ex-
tent, even at prices below the nominal rates of the day.
The printers are very slack, and the dyers not much better
off. The home market is anything but satisfactory. spia-

GENERAL LICENSING DAY.

On Saturday the adjourned general annual licensing
meeting for the division of the parishes of St. Paul,
Covent garden ; St. Clement Danes, and St. Mary le
Strand, was held at the office of the Strand Union,
for the purposes of granting and renewing licenses to
keepers of inns, ale houses, and' victualling houses, and
also for keeping public billiard and bagatelle tables, heron
Lord Montford, as chairman, and other county ma-
gistrates.
The several licenses in the parish of St. Clement Danes
were renewed without any exception.
The Court inquired what steps had been taken by the
police in this particular parish to prevent complaints of
any magnitude being made against licensed victuallers.
Mr. Superintendent Pearce, F. division, replied that
whenever he had occasion to summon a licensed
victualler before the police magistrates, if the complaint
was even dismissed, he caused the officers to make visits
more frequently to the establishment, which he found
generally attended with the most beneficial results on
licensing day to the parties concerned.
The applications for licences to keep billiard and
bagatelle tables in this parish were granted, the terms of
the Act of Parliament being complied with, and no ob-
jection being made.
In the parish of St. Paul, Covent-garden, billiard
licences were granted to the Cider Cellars, in Maiden -
lane, and several others, some of whom were not licensed
victuallers, with the exception of two persons keeping
coffee-houses in Upper Wellington-street, against whom
complaints had been made on various occasions.
The Court then adjourned.

HOUSE OI LORDS.

Their Lordships asse.mbled at a quarter-past four, according to ad-
isnirnment, iu the roping room of the House of Lords. The promo-
ters of the Water.ibrd, Wexford, Wicklow, and Dublin Railway,
and the We';,ford, Carlow, and Dublin Railways had,
it appeared, during the interval of their Lordships' sittings
come to some arrangement by which each company
was to &Ave certain mutual benefits; also, that the Wexford, Car-
low, and Dublin Railway Company should have the power to lease
that part of the Dublin and Kingstown railway which extended from
Kingstown to the bridge of Bray.
Power was also sought, by the introduction of another clause, to
enlarge the station at Dublin of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway
Cerixpany.
'The decision of their Lordships will not bo delivered upon the se-
Vera' lines until to-morrow (Tuesday).

Common Pleas, at twelve o'clock, Mr. V. Smith, chairman.
AlirnsmazE, nzurnam Or WEIR, AND POTZT

GLASGOW JUroTC'X'XON-.

Mr. Hope and Sir Thomas Phillips for the promoters, Mr. Bildyard
and Mr. Forsyth for the opposing Glasgow and Greenock Company.
Mr. ROPE opened the ease for the promoters, He stated that
I the proposed line was promoted by the Glasgow and .Ayr Company,
in order to supply the wants of Port Glasgow and Harbour, and the
intermediate district. The line was above 15 miles in length; the
estimated cost was 300,0001. The Learned Counsel stated that the
Glasgow and Greenock Company had, on the passing of their Bill,
taken powers to supply a branch to the Port Glasgow Harbour, which
they had, however, neglected, until the powers had expired. Sub-
sequently, in 1840, they had been again before Parliament ; they had
again been .granted these powers, and again they had thrown the
people of Port Glasgow overboard, and given all their energies to the
furthering of the Greenock traffic. He should call witnesses to
prove, that by the line proposed the district he had referred to
would be more fully accommodated than by the opposing scheme
patronised by the Glasgow, Paisley, and Greenock Company.
Mr. Murray, Provost of Paisley, proved that omnibuses left that
town to catch the Ayr Railway at Johnstone, and the ordinary mode
of reaching the Bridge of Weir was by taking that line at Johnstone.
He thought the construction of the line would be of great advantage
to the town of Paisley, as it would connect it more immediately with
the now neglected portions of Ayrshire. Crossly, Huraton, and Bridge
of Weir would be greatly benefited by a short and direct line to
Paisley and Glasgow.

GROUP XIV.
NORTX XENT.
The Committee on this line met to-day at twelve o'cl.ck.
Mr. MERREVIETUEZ called

Mr. Robert Wilks of the firm of Pigon and Wilke, of Dartford, who
stated that the composition called " mill cake " is an extremely ex-
plosive material, more so than when finally made into gunpowder. An
explosion of mill cake occurred at his mills in 1833. The quantity
ignited was 2 cwt. A man and a boy were killed. The boy was 52
yards distant from the ignited composition. The man who was in
the charge house when the explosion took place was blown to a dis-
tance of 195 yards from the mill; nine incorporating mills were de-
stroyed. The nearest was 30 yards, and the most distant Was 90
yards from the place of the explosion. The fire communicated to
the second charge house and fired 40 barrels of powder, and destroyed
two-thirds of witness's house.

The CHAIRMAN said that did not see the object of this examina-
tion. The Committee were sufficiently well acquainted with the
dangerous qualities of gunpowder.
Mr. MEICEWETHER said that his object was to show the danger of
the proximity of the proposed line. Ile also appeared as counsel for
the South-EasternCompany, and the asking of these questions now
would save trouble at a future ti.aio. _ . .

RAILWAY.

The Committee, according to previous arrangement, entered upon
:he consideration of the clauses of this Bill.

Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS intimated that an arrangement had been
made between the promoters of the General Terminus and the West
of 16cotland Junction respecting the portion of the latter scheme on
the south side of the river, which competed with the former, by
which the opposition, as far as the General Terminus was concerned,
would be withdrawn.

The clauses were then read seriatim, and up to 26 Inclusive
agreed to.

As the Chairman was called away to give evidence on a Bill in
another Committee-room, the further consideration of the clauses
was put off till Wednesday, at half-past eleven o'clock.

CITY POLICE COMMITTEE.

OBSTRUCTIONS BY RAILWAY WAGGONS. —Henry Thompson,
driver of one of Pickford and Co's. waggons, attended on a
summons for causing an obstruction in Wood-street, at eight
o'clock in the evening of the 16th inst.
From the evidence of two police-constables, it appeared
that the defendant was engaged in covering the goods in the
waggon, and refused to go on, causing a delay of five
minutes.

Th ALDERMAN said that ought to have been done in the
yard He said that the great number of waggons now sent
out the different railroads rendered it necessary that the
offic s should be strict in the performance of their duty in
pre nting obstructions. He would only place a small fine,
in the hope that Messrs. Pickford and Co. would give orders
to prevent a recurrence of the complaint.
A Clerk from the firm, who was in attendance, said their
men were ordered to go on without delay.
The defendant was fined ss.

ADJOURNED GENERAL LICENS-

ING DAY FOR THE CITY.

On Saturday an adjourned annual licensing day for the
City.of London was held at Guildhall, before the Lord Mayor
and Aldermen, to grant billiard licenses, &c., on which
doubts had arisen at the last meeting.

Mr. D. WIRE appeared on behalf of Mr. Stebbing, of
Sherborne-lane, for a license to two houses, in that place and
in Cannon-street. The magistrates, however, considered
that-they could only grant a license to one house. Mr.'
Wire now contended that the magistrates were not restricted,
bat that it was entirely discretionary on their part, and the
applicant was recommended by the ward authorities. The
application was granted.
The other applications for licenses were granted in all the
cases recommended by the ward authorities. They were,
however, prohibited against allowing playing en Sundays,
which had heretofore been the case.

Mr. WIRE applied for a license for Mrs. Davis, the widow
of Mr. Cyrus Davis, a licensed victualler in Giltspur-street,
who died suddenly without making a will, and the time had
not expired for obtaining letters of administration.
The Court granted the license to the public-house, but held
that they could not grant the billiard license.

JEWS IN

Mr. H. BERKELEY wished to ask the Right Hon.
Baronet (Sir ilobert Peel) whether he was aware that
the Emperor of Rus,ia had issued an Ukase for the ex-
pulsion of the Jews from that country,
Sir ROBERT PEEL said he received some informa-
tion on the subject, one or two years ago, to the effect
that an Ukase had been issued by the Emperor, ant for
the expulsion of the Jews from the territory, but for
their removal from the frontier towards the interior, and
nearer India. He understoo:', however, that the order
was suspended, and not crirried into effect.
THE CATHOLIC :PRIEST OF THE 50Th
REGIMEN T.

Mr. O'CONNELL wished to ask the Right Hon.
Gentleman, the Secretary nit War (Mr. S. Herbert), if the
statement which had been i )ut forward in the newspapers
that a Catholic priest in a ttendance in his spiritual ca-
pacity on the Catholic sold: ers of this regiment in India.
and who had been killed in one of the recent engage-
ments on the banks of the. Sutlej, was refused any re-
muneration for his servic(ta, or any accommodation for
the conveyance of his b 4 ;gage from place to place, and
that he was compelled to ply for such transmission out
of his own purse, is as true', ?
Mr. S. HERBERT said he had received no further in-
formation on the subject, than that furnished in the
columns of the Delhi Gazitlte.

SPIRITUAL INSTRUCTION TO THE CATHOLIC

SOLDIEI IS IN INDIA.

Mr. O'CONNELL inqrrired if any provision had been
made for affording spirit ual instruction to the Catholic
soldiers in India, during t Jae present war ?
Mr. S. HERBERT said. 2,5001. was distributed in that
part of India lor the instri tction of Catholic soldiers. On
the average 60,0001. a-ye, tr was distributed in different
parts of India among these soldiers, under the direction
of the Governor-General. The Board of Directors of
the East India Compan3 r had recently passed a resolu-
tion authorising the Gov eralor-General to increase that
amount if he saw a neces city for doing so. The subject
should receive the most e arnest attention of the Govern-
ment.

GRAHAM, the subject dm,. Ted.

Mr. CALEB VOWEL: r, wished to ask the-Right Hon.

ment to introduce any me asure for an alteration of the
present grand jury system i n Ireland.
Sir J. GRAHAM did not think that a long time
would elapse before some :. measure was introduced by
her Majesty's Government r, ela.tive to that subject.
Several Bills were brough t up from the Lords, and

GENERAL LICENSING DAY.

On Saturday the adjourned general annual licensing
meeting for the division of the parishes of St. Paul,
Covent- garden ; St. Clement Danes, uud St. Mary le
Strand, was held at the office of the Strand Union,
for the purposes of granting and renewing licenses to
keepers of inns, ale houses, and victualling houses, and
also for keeping public billiard and bagatelle tables, before
Lord Montfort', as chairman, and other county ma-
gistrates.
The several licenses in the parish of St. Clement Danes
were renewed without any exception.
The Court inquired what steps had been taken by the
police in this particular parish to prevent complaints f
any magnitude being made against licensed victuallers.
Mr. Superintendent Pearce, F. division, replied that
whenever ho had occasion to summon a licensed
victualler before the police magistrates, if the complaint
was even dismissed, he caused the officers to make visits
more frequently to the establishment, which he found
generally attended with the most beneficial results on
licensing day to the parties concerned.
The applications for licences to keep billiard and
bagatelle tables in this parish were granted, the terms of
the Act of Parliament being complied with, and no ob-
jection being made.
In the parish of St. Paul, Covent-garden, billiard
licences were granted to the Cider Cellars,- in Maiden-
lane, and several others, some of whom were not licensed
victuallers, with the exception of two persons keeping
coffee-houses in Upper Wellington-street, against whom
complaints had been made on various occasions.
The Court then adjourned.

CAUTION AS TO POTATO STORlNG.—Professor Hen-
slow communicates two curious instances of spontaneous
ignition having nearly taken place in consequence of
fibrous materials being used to store potatoes. In one
case a labourer at Hitelnn, observing that some potatoes
intended for seed were sprouting, stored two bushels
in perfectly dry bean dust, the refuse after thrashing
and removing the stalks ; but the moisture from the
potatoes so saturated the bean dust that it heated and
became charred ; some of the potatoes were half roasted,
and had it remained unnoticed a few days longer the cottage
would probably have been burnt down. In the other case.
Mr. Joseph Rand, of Handleigh, in October last, laid up a
quantity of potatoes in a small chamber of his malt house,
carefully packed in layers with dry "malt dust" which falls
through the kiln tiles. About a fortnight ago the Excise
officers, in making their inspection, lighted upon this heap,
and happening to stir it up, found the interior in a state
approaching to ignition, the potatoes parboiled, or half-baked,
and the malt dust perfectly charred. Immediate steps were
taken to remove the heap ; the potatoes being chiefly rotten,
were thrown away, and the malt dust was laid on another of
the some material, tobe curried upon the land ;but iv
a short
time it heated again so powerfully, that no time was lost in
removing it from the premises, the walla and floor of which
had been vieibly affected by the heat.

DUTCH MAIL.

THE HAGUE, MARCH 25.—1 n the sitting of the
Second Chamber of the States General to-day the two
projects of law were agreed to ; Ist. for an extraordinary
advance of money to the Charitable Society, by a majo-
rity of 49 to 1 ; and 2d. that for increasing chap. ix.
of the budget of the expenditure for 1846, unanimous'''.
THE HAGUE, MARCH 26.—1 n the sitting of the
Second Chamber to-d,y, the report of the Committee
for revising the standing orders was discussed. It was
resolved that the report should be agreed to by a majo"
rity of 46 to 7, and the debate on the several proposed
modifications is fixed for to-morrow, and each sepa-
rately.
NIMEGUEN, MARCH 24.—We are sorry to observe en
increasing desire in the inhabitants to emigrate to
America, the motives for which we will not inquire into,
but we think it our duty to warn those, who intend to
leave their own country, of the danger to which they
expose themselves, and the privations they may expect
to suffer. Hundreds of every rank have reached the
place of their destination, with the loss of all their re-
sources which they possessed, and are plunged into the
greatest distress.
ZWOLLE, MARCH 24.—We learn from Zulpben, that
a baker of that town had purchased American flour to
the amount of 1,000 florin 4; the American wheat-flour
cost him 12c. per lb., free to Zutphen ; while our own
flour costs there 16c., and h're 20c. per lb.
