NEW SOUTH WALES.

ATTEMPTS AT DIS
FELIX.COVERY IN AUSTRALIA

The Galway Advertiser of the Bth of August has the
following account of a frustrated expedition of Mr.
Smythe, colonial surveyor:—"Yesterday this indefati-
gable explorer returned from his second expedition to
Cape Otway. His return has been hastened in conse-
quence of the murder of one of his men by the blacks.
After the expedition left the Barwon Heads, about a
month ago, they encountered a succession of westerly
gales, and made several ineffectual attempts to get round
the cape. They at last landed on the eastern side and
encamped, while Mr. Smythe, accompanied by four men,
penetrated to the westward to survey the Eyre River.
Mr. Smythe started on the 25th of July. Proceeding
along the shore they fell in with a tribe of blacks, c( nt •
posed of one man, four women, and three boys, all V
whom had been at the tent some days before. Mr.
Smythe prevailed on the man and one of the boys
to act as his guide to Gunna-waar, or Eyredale. After
travelling for about three hours, they came to a part of the
country with which Mr. Smythe was familiar, and as he had
no further use for the blacks, he sent them to the tents, first
giving them a supply of tea, and a note to the coxswain,
directing him to give them some flour. Mr. Smythe re-
turned on the evening of the 31st, when he learned that
one of the men, named Conroy, had been barbarously
murdered about 200 yards from the tent, where he had
gone to cut wood. This happened on Sunday morning
between nine and ten o'clock. The blacks had arrived
at the tent early that morning, and had been supplied
with
.damper. They then went away along the beach ;
and
.just previous to the murder they were seen re-
turntne, making a great noise. On their again retiring,
the body of the deceased was found by his companions
dreadfully mangled about the head, and life entirely ex-
tinct. A tomahawk was found near the spot, with
which no doubt the blows had been inflicted. The left
jaw was broken, and there were several deep gashes on
the left temple ; there were three deep cuts on the neck
and throat, the clothing had been stripped from the
body and carried off—even the boots were not left
behind. The body WAS not mutilated in any
other manner, so that it appears the only ob-
ject of the murderers was to possess themselves
of the clothing worn by the unfortunate man. The
body W 95 buried. After this event, Mr. Smythe finding
his stock of provisions nearly exhausted, deemed it ad-
visable to return. The party, therefore, re-embarked,
and sailed eastward to Loutit Bay (under Plattopped
Point), a well-sheltered harbour, where they beached
their whale-boat, and secured it above high-water mark,
Mr. Smythe determining to make his way to Geelong
by land. It is his intention, we believe, to make a third
excursion to the Cape Otway country as soon as he has
given in his report to Government. Under the circum-
stances of Mr. Smythe's return, he was prevented from
bringing many geological specimens. On one part of
the coast the cliffs are a pure chalk, and he has ascer-
tained that the coal formation extends to the westward
of the Cape, towards Moonlight Head. In the neigh-
bourhood of Loutit Bay there are immense beds of rot-
tenstone, used for polishing brass, &c. The rivers and
water courses were almost Impassable from the floods."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

Mr. Paterson, a tailor, was summoned before Mr. Al-
derman Wilson for assaulting Mark Anthony Markham,
his apprentice.

Mr. Scott, a solicitor, on behalf of the defendant, tth-
jected that he was not an apprentice, for the indenture
had not been stamped, and was not worth a farthing,
The lad's father said this was very odd, as this gentle-
man drew up the indenture, and charged 14s. 6d. for his
trouble. He also told him that all was complete.
Mr. Scott replied, he told him it would require a
stamp for 11. If the father had not paid it, that was
his tault.

The father denied that he received any such intima-
tion. The defendant told his boy about three w4•eks
after the binding that he could have an apprentice with a
501. premium, and he had ill-used him ever since.
Mr. Alderman WiLsoN said it was an ungracious act
on the part of the solicitor to seek to take advantage of
the want of a stamp. He ought not to have prepared
such indentures, or should have given the parties lull
notice that they were of no use whatever if they were
not stamped.

Mr. Scott said his client bad no desire to take any ad-
vantage, and he was ready to carry out the indenture as
if it w..re stamped. lie told the father they ought to be
stamped...

Mi. Alderman WILSON said he could take cognizance
of a charge of assault without regard to the apprentice-
ship. He asked what premium was paid? The master
said none. It was a binding for only two years. The
boy was a thorough bad temper.
Mr. Alderman Johnson joined Mr. Alderman Wilson
in hearing the case.
It appeared that the boy came forty minutes beyond
his time, during which the master was workinc, without
a fire on a frosty day. When the lad began to light the
fire he threw the fender aside so as to break a piece of
it off, and chip a piece off the oil cloth. The master
ordered him to leave. The boy would not go, and in
resisting his master's efforts to force him out gave him
a black eye. The boy had previously received two blows
in the face, and had been beaten over the arms to make
him give up his hold of a looking glass, which he meant
to pull down if his master persisted in forcing him away.
The MAGISTRATES wereof opinion that the master had
given way to unnecessary violence in the outset, instead
of appealing to the magistrate. At the same time, con-
sidering that the apprentice had struck the master, they
reduced the fine to ss. and costs. As 'he servant was
paid weekly wages, he might set up his claim for wages
at the Court of Requests, if the master refused to pay
what was due to him.

A donation of 101. was received from the Goldsmiths'
Company.

THAMES.

GENERAL FLORES' EXPEDITION.—Towards the close
of the proceedings at this Court Mr. Adderley With:oche
Sleigh, K.T.S., who, it was understood, was to have
commanded the squadron intended to aid General Flores'
expedition was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged by
Inspector Evans of the river police, under the 59th Geo.
111., cap. 69, sec. 2, with unlawfully enlisting British
subjects to serve under a foreign power, without the
sanction or consent of her liajesty.
Mr. Cottering, solicitor to the Board of Customs, who
attended for the prosecution, said that as the defendant
had only been just arrested, the case was not in a state
for thorough investigation then, but he would pro-
duce evidence sufficient to warrant a remand. He then
called John Wyming, resident at No. 9, Crown street,
Westminster, who deposed that he was an Englishman,
and had served in the Portuguese Legion. About seven
weeks ago he was engaged to act as sergeant in a corps
going to the Equador, and was told at the time that he
would be certain of promotion. On the 15th ult. he was
sent to the Angel, at Botherhithe, where he saw Cap-
tain Sleigh, with whom he had served on the continent,
who was passing two or three hundred men, as they were
examined by the doctor. The captain told the men
they were going to the Equador, were the privates
were to have six dollars per month, the corporals
eight, and the sergeants twelve, with clothes, rations.
a house, two bullocks, and a cow each, He told the
men that they must not object to fight if they found it
necessary to protect their property, but he said privately
to witness, " You are the sort of man I want, though the
others need not know anything about the matter." Wit-
ness heard something mentioned in the presence of the
prisoner about the men thus engaged being called emi-
grants, but he did not hear the term soldier used, unless
the word sergeant could be so construed. A promise
was held out to the men that they would find most corn-
fortzble accommodation on board the vessels engaged for
the expedition, namely, the Monarch, the Neptune, and
the Glenelg. Witness had instructions to engage all the
old hands he could fall in with, by which he understood
those who had served with himself and the defendant,
in Spain and Portugal. Witness acted in accordance
with his instructions, and his mode of doing so was
after the usual way of military enlistment. lie had no
doubt that he himself was enlisted for some foreign mili-
tary service.

Thomas Rinings was then called, and stated that he
was a lapidary, residing at 6, Wood's-buildings, George-
street, Chelsea. He had served under Captain Sleigh
in Spain, and seeing a placard headed "Emigration to
the Equador," with a reference to Captain Sleigh, ap-
plied to that gentleman, who said he was the sort of
man he wanted, and desired him to procure as many of
the " old bench" as possible to join General Flores in
South America. Witness did not understand more than
that they were to drive away some Don Roquo, who had
been set up as President, and that Generat Flores did
not wish to undertake the expedition without the assis-
tance of an English force. Captain Sleigh on that ocea-
,ion stated that there would not be much military ser-
vice to be performed, as the breast work and batteries
were such as any man of spirit might kick down with
his foot. Witness had engaged 50 or 60 men, and dis
tinctly understood that he had engaged them for a ini-
iitary service. The defendant, however, told some of
the men that they were going out as emigrants, whilst
he told others that they were going out as soldiers.
Mr. YARDLEY said there was sufficient evidence to
call upon the defendant to find bail to answer the
charge. _ _

The defendant, a fine agile-lcolcing young fellow,
about 30 years of age, whose features were deeply
bronzed by exposure to various climes, and who looked
more like a Spaniard than a native of the sister isle,
asked with a tone of mingled surprise and composure,
" What is the charge?"
Mr. YARDLEY—That of unlawfully enlisting British
subjects to serve under a foreign power, without the
sanction of their sovereign.
Captain Sleigh—Why these men have already served
under a foreign power, and I am not aware that they
had such sanction.

Mr. YARDLEY—That does not form the question now
before me.

The defendant (glancing contemptuously at the wit-
nesses)—l do not pretend to understand the question,
for my solicitor is not here. All I know is, that these
faithful followers, who tell you that tney fought with and
served under me in Spain, have been brought here for
some paltry purpose, that I cannot approve ; and I am
glad to find that General Flores' expedition is not likely
to be disgraced by the service of such despicable
wretches. They solicited the service from me, for they
sought me, and I not them. It was unnecessary for you,
sir, to issue a warrant for my apprehension ; the slightest
intimation that my presence here would be necessary
would have instantly brought me. Ido not feel myself
at all disgraced by my position; for being bred to arms,
I would, in the pursuit of my profession, engage in any
foreign service not opposed to my own legitimate
sovereign.

Mr. YARDLEY held the prisoner to bail to answer the
charge at the Central Criminal Court, himself in 2001.,
and two sureties of 1001. each ; but he will be brought
up again to complete the evidence.

CRUELTY TO A HORSE. - A brutal-looking fellow,
named Charles Frankling, was charged with horribly
maltreating a horse, the property of Mr. David Stevens,
corn merchant, of North-street, Poplar.
It appeared that the horse was a young and playful
animal, and would bite, through mere playfulness, at
those who were employed in dressing it up for the night.
The prisoner, though cautioned as to the animal's pro-
pensities, neglected the usual precaution of binding him
up by a head-stall, and the consequence was, that it gave
him a nip in the side, which broke the flesh. The fellow
immediately seized the stable fork, and after belabouring
the poor animal desperately about the sides, plunged
one of the prongs deeply into the fleshy part of one of its
hind-quarters. The veterinary surgeon could not say
whether the animal would or would not survive the
injury, and the complainant stated that he was at a loss
per day amounting to almost 11.
The prisoner was fined 405., and in default committed
fur fourteen days.

LAMBETII.

ALLEGED CRUELTY TO AN INFANT BY ITS MOTHER,

—Emma Allen, a rather good-looking young woman, at
present an inmate of Lambeth workhouse, was brought
before Mr. Elliott, by order of Mr. Bushell, one of the
guardians of Lambeth parish, on a charge of ill-using an
infant, her illegitimate offspring.
Several witnesses were examined, who deposed to the
Prisoner having been in the habit of treating her infant
with great inhumanity, snch as feeding it with food so
hot as to scald its mouth, and so beating, pinching, and
bruising it as to reduce it to a wretched state.
Mr. Johnson, assistant to Mr. Duke, the parish sur-
geon, deposed that he bad attended the prisoner's child
for some time, and did not at any time perceive any
marks of violence upon it. The complaint under which
the child was labouring was diarrhoea, and it was much
worse now than while he had been attending it.
Mr. ELLvoTT—Had you ever examined the child to
ascertain if there were marks of violence upon it?
Witness—No, sir, I did not ; I had not the slightest
suspicion that it had been ill-used, and therefore did not
think it necessary to examine it.

~ . .
Mr. ELLIOTT--
H
-
ow long has it been ill? Witness--
About five weeks.

Mr. ELLIOTT—DO you think the diarrhoea might
have been produced by the infant being bruised and
pinclled, or giving to it food too hot, as has been de-
scribed, or has it been the result of natural causes?
Witness— From natural causes, I should think.
Mr. ELLIOTT—What was your opinion as to the pri-
soner's treatment of her infant? Witness—She did not
appear to me to be over kind or attentive to her infant.
Mr. Bushell here said that the matron of the ward
had frequently spoken to the prisoner about her negli-
gence and treatment of her infant, and he wished to ask
the prisoner what her replies used to be? Prisoner—
I always told her. " I had a right to do what I liked
with my own."
Mr. ELLIOTT—This expression, together with the
evidence that has been given, satisfies me that you are
not a person who should be entrusted with the care of
an infant. It is quite clear that you are a person of
very violent temper, and that you have not treated your
child as you should have done, and my order therefore
is, that the child be taken from you, and sent to the
nursery, and that you yourself be taken back to the ,

---

Tine prisoner was then discharged.
ROBBERY AT A STLE es THEATRE.— George Morris,
property man, and I homas IVray, one of the carpenters
at Asti, y's Theatre, were finally examined on a charge
of stealing eight wands, the property of Mr. William
Batty, their employer.
From the testimony of Mr. Batty, the proprietor of
Astley's Theatre, and Mr. Broadfo9t, his stage manager,
it appeared that on Sunday evening last the former gen•
tletuan was sitting near the outer gate when the men
were going away from work, and observing the prisoner
Wray suddenly tura hack on perceiving him, he fol-
lowed him, and found in his possession six four-feet and
two six-feet wands, handsomely painted and decorated
with rich tinsel paper. He gave varied accounts about
the property, but at length admitted that he had made
them from the timber belonging to Mr. Batty, for Mor-
ris, the property man, and was taking them out for
his use.

Morris did not deny that the wands, which were for
a private order, had been made from the wood belong-
ing to Mr. Batty, and by Wray, one of the carpenters,
but said that the tinsel paper, colouring, and decoration
were his own, Ile was unable, however, to prove the
latter ; ad

Mr. ELLIOTT ordered both prisoners for trial.
On the kind intercession of Mr. Batty, who said that
Morris had been for a I.,ngth of time in his service, at a
salary of two guineas a week, and the other prisoner had
also been in his employment tor some time, and, with
overtime, earned nearly as much, the case was taken
summarily, and the prisoners were committed for 21
days each to the Honse of Correction.

G REENTV IC 11.
ALLEGED FELONY.—James Scudder, a sawyer, and
G. Furnam, a dissolute fellow, hsving no fixed place of
abode, were charged with stealing a clock, the property
of Richsrd Thomas, a coachman, residing at Sydenham,
under the following circumstances :
Mr. Thomas deposed that himself and wife were sitting:
by the parlour fire, about half past eight o'clock the pre-
ceding evening, when he heard the street-door forced
open, and immediately afterwards the prisoners came
into the parlour and walked rcund the table, Scudder
lighting his pipe at the candle. They then left the house,
and immediately after they were gone, a boy came arid
told him that a man had run off with his clock, which
was kept in the passage.
John Hopkins stated that he was standing near the
house when he he saw the pris'iner Furnam come out
with the clock under his arm, and make off as fast as he
was able, and because witness noticed him, he used very
abusive and threatening language. The other prisoner
was standing at the door, but left immediately after-
wards, going the contrary way.
C. Lever, police-constable, 72 R, deposed that he ap-
prehended the prisoners, both of whom denied taking
the clock away. The clock was subsequently found
secreted in the out premises of the Woodman beer-shop,
which is kept by the father of the prisoner Scudder.
.f. Jenkinson, 10 R, deposed that he found the clock.
The pendulum and weights were found in the road, but
the bell of the clock was lost.

Scudder denied being concerned in the clock robbery,
or that he knew it had been removed off the premises.
He had certainly gone in and lit his pipe, and that was
his only offence.
Mr. Thomas said he did not believe Scudder would
wob him; he had an opinion that Scudder would do no-
thing wrong towards him.
The police-constable told Mr. Jeremy that the prisoner
Furnam was a painter and glazier, but seldom worked,
and slept about in sheds and barns at night.
Mr. JEREMY said, he did not think felony was in-
tended, but a most daring and impudent trespass had
been committed by both prisoners, and he should fine
them 104. each, and order them to pay ss. each for the
damage done to the clock, and in default he should com-
mit them for one month to the House of Correction.
The prisoners were locked up.

TUB POLES IN SIBERIA.—A Polish journal, pub-
lished in Paris, gives a long account of the exile to Si-
beria, and escape of a Pole named Piotrowski, who had
taken part in the Polish insurrection of 1831, and sub-
sequently found refuge in France. In 1843 M. Piotrow-
ski left France, and contrived, under the assumed name
of Cataro, to enter Russia, where he established himself
as a teacher of the French language, and remained un-
suspected for nine months, at the end of which period he
was denounced by a person named Lesczinski, to whom
he had imprudently revealed who he was. He was ar-
rested and sent in chains to Kief, where he was sen-
tenced to be shot, but the Governor-General commuted
his sentence to hard labour for life in Siberia, and the
commutation was confirmed by the Emperor. The de
nuneiator, Lesczinski, received the thanks of the go-
vernment and the decoration of the order of Saint Sta-
nislaus. On his arrival in Siberia, Piotrowski was sent
to work in a distillery belonging to Prince Gortchakoff,
at Ekaterinsk, and where he found 300 convicts, all of
whom, with the exception of two Poles exiled for politi-
cal offences, were thieves and murderers. At the be-
ginning of January last, M. Piotrowski, unable to bear
this association and the hard labour and bad food to
which he was condemned, resolved to attempt an escape,
and has succeeded, after undergoing dreadful hardships
and privations. He travelled at night, swimming through
rivers and lakes, and cone, aling himself occasionally
during the day under the snow. He r, ached Paris on
the 22d October last, after having travelled at least 4,000
leagues on foot. M. Piotrowski asserts, but which we
much doubt, that the number of Poles now in exile in Si-
beria exceeds 50,000, many of whom are condemned to
hard labour in various establishments, and are treated
with great rigour ; others are placed on lauds belonging
to the Government.

Wild fowl was never so abundant or cheap as at
present. The country " boys" are engaged every day
at the pastime of shooting game, but the largest field day
is the Sabbath, when shuts may be heard popping in all
directions. The consequence is, that fowl are hawked
about the town for sale in the greatest plenty.—
