ments are as dwarfish in their dimensions and as
pernicious in their character as any that have ever
been recorded in the history of civilization. And as
Mr. GLADSTONE very happily observed, after oauoting
from WORDSWORTH the great poetic truth that "the
boy is father to the man,"—" So it is with nations :
infant settlements are the fathers of great nations ;
and the means of a healthy development ought,
therefore, to be afforded to them ; for sickly,
stunted, and mutilated creatures are likely to
spring up beneath the poisoned shade 4X mono-
poly and despotism." Such settlement, if any
settlements at all, are the only ones that can be an-
ticipated for Vancouver's Island, if that noble and
fruitful colony be abandoned to the grasp of the
Hudson's Bay Company directors. With these
considerations, we resign the matter to the ripened
judgment and the retentive conscience of the mem-
bers of the Administration.

A case was tried yesterday at the Central Criminal
Court which affords another powerful illeistration of
the necessity for the establishment of a public prose..
tutor, whom duty it shall be to examine attentively
and accurately the depositions, and to ascertain that
there shall at least be a prima facie case to go to' a
jury before any person shall be committed for trial
on an aggravated charge. We have :repeatedly
shown that under the present impolitic system the
most innocent persons may be subjected to serious
annoyance, inconvenience, and expense, that their
feelings may be outraged, and perhaps their
prospects in life wholly blighted. It is
no light, or trivial matter for any person to be
arrested, torn from friends and family, detained in
custody, exposed for even a brief period to public
odium as a hardened and atrocious criminal, and
finally compelled to incur a heavy expenditure, which
cannot possibly, even under the most favourable cir-
cumstances, be recovered, and all because undue faci-
lities are afforded to any person who chooses to pre-
fer a trumpery accusation for the gratification of
private malignity or revenge, or for the purposes of
extortion and oppression, to obtain a public
investigation. According to the constitutional
theory, when a criminal action • has been
commited, the private injury is merged in
the public wrong. The offender is not punished
for having transgressed against his neighbour, but
for having violated the peace of our Sovereign Lady
the QUEEN. Protection is due to every subject. He
yields his allegiance to the supreme authority and
contributes to the National Exchequer, and in return
he is def.nded in the enjoyment of all his rights, and
any invasion thereof is resented by the body politic,
of which he is a member. This is the theory; how
different is the practice ! If a person is robbed of his
property, he is bowel over to prosecute the plun-
derer, and his original loss is materially increased by
the legal expenses of that prosecution; if he is as•
saulted, he must incur a heavy outlay in bringing
the aggressor to justice, and discharging the duty
which should devolve upon the law officers of the
Crown. Thus the protection to person and pro-
perty, which is the only legitimate basis of the na-
tional taxation, is practically withheld. But still
more is this the case when a party is taken up on in-
sufficient grounds, and, after suffering the deepest
injury, dismissed without compensation or recom-
pense. There is no respect in which the protection
due to every subject is more urgently required than
in guarding him against unfounded accusations,
-whether such accusations be the result of private
malignity, or of the blundering and stupidity of in-
oompctent persons called upon to discharge a public
duty.

The case now under notice was owing to the latter
cause, but the grievance to the aggrieved parties is
precisely the same, and it would have been wholly
averted if a public officer had examined the proceed-
-sngs of the coroner's inquest before they had been
given in charge to the jury. Even the grand jury,
-who too often have deserved censure for the reckless
:manner in which they are in the habit of finding
true bills on insufficient testimony, had ignored
the bills that bad been preferred, but the coroner's
jury having returned a verdict of Wilful Murder, the
parties were necessarily arraigned upon that inquisi-
tion.

The facts were very simple. MART SPRY and
MARY ANNE DORE, mother and daughter, described
as well dressed, respectable persons, were charged
with the wilful murder of a child of the latter, by ad-
ministering poison to it. It appeared that the
prisoners had invariably treated the deceased infant,
who was only four months old, with the utmost kind-
ness and affection, and there was not the slightest
attempt to show that any poison had been in the pos-
session of either. On the 13th July last
the younger prisoner had arranged to go on
an excursion of pleasure to the Isle of Wight,
on that morning the child was taken ill. A medical
man was immediately sent for, who administered
some medicine, but did not think the case a serious
one. The parties thereupon proceeded upon their
journey ; but the child still suffering, another pro-
fessional man was consulted on their arrival in the
island, who ordered more active remedies, and recom-
mended the mother to return to London with her
child. During this period the mother exhibited the
greatest affection for her child. On arriving in
town the former medical adviser was again con-
sulted, and certain powders administered under
his direction. The child died shortly afterwards.
On a post mortem examination, a small portion of
arsenic was found in the child's intestines ; but this
did not appear to be the cause of death, which was
distinctly shown to have been occasioned by a natural
cause ; the child having suffered under what is
termed intersusception of the bowels. Under these
circumstances, the Learned Judge who presided
stopped the case, and with considerable warmth de-
clared, " that there did not appear to be the
slightest ground for the charge ; and it only
showed what might be done by a coroner's jury."
Even the Learned Counsel who conducted the prosecu-
tion, in opening the case, declared that from a perusal of
the depositions he entertained an opinion that in the
result the prisoners would be freed from the charge."
Why, then, should the case be proceeded with under
such circumstances ? The humane principle of the
law is, that "it is better that ninety-nine guilty
persons should escape, than that one innocent person
should be unjustly convicted." And juries are inva-
riably told " that if they entertain any reasonable
doubt they are to gire,the benefit to the prisoner;"but
here, although the prosecuting counsel acknowledges
that be himself feels such a doubt, witnesses are ex-
amined and the feelings of the innocentprisoners bar-
rowed up by a recapitulation of the distressing facts of
the case. We do not desire to be Understood as casting
any reflection upon the learned and able gentleman
who made that admission, and who, in doing so, de-
served credit for his candour; it is the system to
which we are conscientiously opposed, and which
should be altered with the least possible delay.

THE FRENCH R EPUBLIC.

---nom--

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
Neither Louis BLANC nor CAUSSIDIERE have as
yet been arrested, and it is positively atiirmed in the
Siècle that Louts BLANo is safe in Brussels.
The Gazette des Tribunaux says—

"Yesterday (Saturday) month-Ig, upon a requiaition
from M. Pinard, Prccurcur de la Republique, two war-
rants were issued by M. Bertrand, the examining
magistrate, for the arrest of MM. Louis Blanc and
Caussidiere. Commissaries of Police and their officers
went to t►he residence of M. Caussidiere, at No. 26, Cue
Beaujon, and to that of M. Louis -Blanc, at No. 57, Rue
Neuve Vivienne, to execute the warrants, but neither
of them was to be found. They left their homes ,on
Friday, at seven in the evening, and had never returned.
M. Bertrand, in the presence of the Procureur, made
searches in the apartments of both. The papers found
at M. Caussithare's were taken to the registrar's office,
but the desk of M. Louis Blanc was put under seals. At
eleven o'clock yesterday evening the warrants had not
been executed."

The Idessagei• gives the following explanation as
to the non-arrest of these gentlemen before they
quitted the hall of the AssemLly.
"M. Louis Blanc and N. Cauittidre were at first to
have been arresttd at the Asse:rblyi but, from a high
sentiment of propriety, Genera! (.!:vaignac was nut wil-
hug that this arrest should he made in the sanctuary of
the Leg :filature. Orders were to arrest them only
at their places of residence. They di not return thither.
'rho police,' however, has been informed of their place of
retreat, cad, if their arrest has not already taken place,
it is because the two representatives have promised to
constitute themselves prisoners this very day."
The protest of the journalists whose papers have
been suppressed was yesterday presented to General
CAvalGNec, who returned the following answer
In- suppressing the journals whose attacks appe:ircd
to me dangerous to the Itepublie, I believe I fulfilled a
duty. You journalists, you do your duty by protesting
against an attack against tho liberty of the press and the
privileges of the writer. This protest is an act whiar
does you honour, and for the dignity of your class I
should hove been astonished at your sileace. I ex-
pected it."

- Tranquillity has been completely re .established at
Lille, and the leaders of the Cnuute have been tAcon
into custody. 14IesFrs. BYRNE and Al‘Coasucx, two
of the Irish rebel leaders, have safely arrival in
Paris.

M. MAUGUIN has given notice of a motion in the
National Assembly on the subject of the suppression
of the journals.

AUSTRIA.

There was a meeting of workmen held at Vienna
on the 22d, for the alleged purpose of remonstrating
against an intended reduction in the rate of wages,
and some of them threatened to march to the Palace
of Schoenbrunn, and destroy it. Thanks, however, to
the energetic conduct of the National and Municipal
Guards, who were ell'ectually aided by the students,
the assemblage of workmen was dispersed without
doing► mischief. In the sitting of the Chamber the
recognition of the French Republic was announced,
and a vote of 20,000,000 granted. The follow-
ing explanation on the subject of the French and
English intervention in the atfAirs of Italy was given
by the Minister DOIIBLHOFF. Ile said, "it was true
that the English Ambassador and French Chargé
d'Affaires had received instructions from their respec-
tive Governments to make certain proposals for a
settlement of the Italian question ; that, however, no
communications had been made on the subject to the
Austrian Ministry ; that consequently there might he
a question of mediation, but not of intervention
Neither bad any communication been made by the
central power (of' Frankfort) to the Cabinet of Vienna;
they had only been informed by letter that agents of
the Ministry of the Empire (German empire) had
been sent from the camp of Marshal RADETZKIr to
Paris and London."

It is generally considered that WESSENBERG *ill
be appointed Prime Minister.
The Augsburg Gazette publi,hes the following
letter from Vienna, dated August 21 :
" By letters which we receive from Italy, we Icarn
that the bases of the treaty of peace between Austria
and Piedmonthave been settled, and that Lombardy will
remain under Austria. Peace is insured. The inter-
vention offered by France and England has arrived too
late. The good people of Paris will be consoled. The
French will be charmed to get out of the affair so
cheaply."

It is said that the Ministers ESTEIMAZY and

BAVARIA.

There were large assemblages in the streets of
Munich on the 23d ; the troops were drawn up in a
threatening attitude, and everything portended a
collision. The Government, however, having ordered
the troops to return to the barracks, and having en-
trusted the guardianship of the city to the Burgher
Guard, the people gradually retired, and the public
tranquillity was not disturbed.

placed bet)re bin Bingham, charged with hlving con-
cealed the birth of her child.

Eliz t Newman said she lodged on the ground floor
at No. 3, Archer-street, Sr. James's. On lac,: Tuesday

Witness had not the remotest idea at the time that the
prisoner had given birth to a child. The. pri.oner left

fancied ought not to be there. When she had cleared

Vine-street station, and gave information to the police,
who come, and took the body out of the cesspool. She
subsequently went with a constable to the prisoner's
aunts, where she saw the prisoner, and gave her in
charge.
Mary Francis, the prisoner's aunt, said she lived at

TIER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

_~;

CLOSE OF TUE SEASON.

Af:cr a season unexampled for its length and unpa-
ralleled for its prosperity, her Majesty's Theatre closed
on Thursday night pith the perfteenances of the
S nnambu!a, Fiorita, and Alma. Jenny Lind was called
ter foul• times at the conclusion of the opera, and again at
the conclusion.of the National Anthem, the third verse
of which she sang plainly, nobly, truly, as a national
anthem should be sang, and which she was called on to
repeat. Her reception at each time of her appearance
was most enthusiastic. The queen of song wee received
s queens should be received. No sooner did she appear
:ban, as poor Edmund Kean would have mid, " the pit
rose at her," and the example of the pit was followed by
boxes arid gallery. The whole audience ruse en masse
to do homage to her unsurpassable genius as an artist
and to the Una-like purity of her character as a woman.
Such was the triumphant conclusion of the second
" Jenny Lind " season, in which the Swedish Nightin-
gale more, much more than sustained the great reputa-
tion which she had acquired during the season of 1847.
Those who heard her at the Oise of the last
season imagined that she bad ait-ined per-
fection, and in comparison with what we had
been aceiv,tomed to from other singers, undoubtedly she
had attained perfection, but with the enthusiasm of
every true lover of art, Jenny Lind is not content to rest
on her laurels, she is always a student, and thus she goes
on, every year Surpassing her efforts of the preceding
year. Her Amina, for instance, and her Maria were
this yes superior to her Amine and her Maria of last
year. and her new impersonations, her Lucia and her
E!vira, were perfect, they were inspirations in the truest
sense of the word, and, for the first time, gave
us the true readings of those characters. Ma-
demoiselle Jenny Lind leaves London for a short
tour in the provinces, and then, so say 3 report, she
quits the stage, and retires from public lite. We would
fain hope that such may not be the ease. She has a
great mission, the which she has as yet but half accom-
plished. Her mission is to purify the stage, to restore
art and artists to their prOper position, to show to those
well 'meaning, virtuous, but prejudiced persons, who have
visited the sins of some few disorderly artist 3 on art it-
self , that art is in its own nature pure and ennobling,
and at the same time to prove to artists that it is to their
interest as artists to maintain the dignity of their call-
ing, and to abstain from those vices in which too many
of them indulge. Jenny Lind undoubtedly made the
season, end she must necessarily at any theatre which
Is happy enough to secure her services; but Mr. Lumley
did rot trust to Jenny Lind alone. Ile had engaged a
most efficient corps operatigue, and in the course
of the season he introduced to us several
new singers of great merit. On the open-
ing night, for instance, the 19th of February,
Mademoiselle Sofia Cruvelli appeared in the opera of
Lrnani, and achieved a success complete arid undoubted,
a success that is seldom achieved on a first appearance
by artists of much greater experience than Made-

tained but increased at each subsequent appearance;

useful addition to the company, and a most
advantageous substitute for, 'poor old worn-out Ma-

dame Tadolini, the prima donna of Italy par excellence.
Tilos° who heard her in the character of Linda on the
night of her debilt will not be surprised at the high
fame which she had acquired on the Continent. She
was then fresh from Italy, and her voice retained all its
purity and clearness; but she had scarcely bout in Eng-
land a wetk ere the English climate began to pro-
duce its u, ual t fleets upon the delicate organs
of those Italians who have not been from their youth
upwards used to the smoke of a sea-coal fire; and she
was no longer the Tadolini that we recoflicted hear-

ing at Milan, nor even. the Tadolini that v, o had heard
on a certain Saturday night in April, singing at her Ma-
jesty's Theatre with Mr.. Sims Reeves in the opera of
Linda di Chimouni. The company at her Majesty's
'theatre was exceedingly rich in basses and

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet,
with a good supply, and no change in prices. Sales,
6,000 bales, of which 2,000 were for export.—Shares
were very dull, but thero was no particular alteratiun in

prices.
The foreign arrivals bring very little news, and gene
rally this is of a political character.
The system of bounties upon the exportation of
French manufactures excites, as we expected would be
the case ere long, a good deal of attention in the manu-
facturing districts. The objectionable character of the
bounty system, and its certain ultimate failure, we have
before adverted to, and we have endeavoured to
show how unfavourable it is• even for the
parties whom it is intended to benefit. The
woollen manufacturers of Bradford have had
some correspondence with the Board of Trade on the
subject of the present distress, and remonstrating upon
the free importation of French merinos. The Leeds
Mercury very ably disposes of the attempted onslaught
upon free-trade principles, coming, indeed, as it must,
with a bad grace, from a part of England which
had chosen Mr. Cobden to represent its views in
Parliament, and which, through that genth man,
has very properly declared that, with an abundant
supply of food from abroad, they were willing
to submit to the same foreign competition as the farmer.
The journal above referred to observes that its statements
" went to shovi that the duty on the import of
wool into France necessarily raised the price of
French wools by the amount of the duty; that
the bounty allowed by the French Government
on the export of French merinos was exactly
commensurate to the amount of the duty pail, or the
enhanced price of the wool used by the French manu-
facturer ; that, in fact, the 10 per cent., or whatever
was the amount allowed by the French Government,
was drawback and not bounty. As a corollary from
the last statement, we maintained that theto was no
ground of complaint on which the Board of Trade could
make any remonstrance to the French Government.
We also stated that the trade in British double-twill
merinos was always a limited one ; and that, such as
it was, it was annihilated before the duty of 15 per
cent. on French merinos was rescinded by the tariff
of 1846 ; and that, consequently, it was absurd to attri-
bute its extinction to a difference 0f.5 per cent. in the
cost, arising out of the different ratios of the tax on
wool, and the bounty on merinos, respectively charged
and alloWed at the French Custom-house. But, ad-
mitting the views of Mr. Rand as to tho effect of
the bounty, we maintained that the substitution of
French for English labour in the fabrication of 50,000
pieces of merino; was inadequate to account fur the dis-
tress of the Bradford operatives; and was, -in fact, ut-
terly insignificant, in comparison with .the amount an-
nually paid in wages and profit in the worsted manufac-
ture of the West Riding; and we further stated that the
great cause was to be found in the falling off in the ex-
ports of worsted goods and yarns, in the five months
of the s ear ending sth of July, to the extent of 940,8511."
There is a very dull market for the Public Securities,
and prices arm without any buoyancy. Consols have
been 86 to 864 for present transfer, and 86i to 861 for

ployed to raise the two millions sterling which the

bably for some little time yet, depressed both Stock and
Exchequer-bills; but a funding, now money is so easy,
