SIMMONDS'S COLONIAL MAGAZINE.

A letter respecting the establishment of a syste-
matic steam communication between the West Indies
and the United States is inserted in the present
number of the Colonial. It is remarkable for the
soundness of its reasoning, and we earnestly trust it
may obtain a very general attention. But for its
length we should transcribe a legend of St. Helena,
entitled " The Friar," seeing that it is so gracefully
told. The re-publication of Charles Hooton's
" Rides, Rambles, and Sketches in Texas," is pur-
sued, and this contribution, with the magazine gene.
rally, evince considerable ability.

TAIT.

The indefatigable Mrs. Gore brings her story of
"Tempation and Atonement " to a termination in
the present number. In its chapters the authoress
has forsaken the conventionalities of the drawing-
room and boudoir for the cottage and the homestead ;
she has abandoned the society of the metropolis for
the society of the provinces ; and delineated the cha-
racters of our domestic Englishmen and English-
women instead of either peers or parvenus. Her
readers will be grateful for the change, even though it
be evanescent. The merits of a young German poet,
who has made his appearance in literature within the
last year, are discussed with much impartiality. In
discriminating the beauties and blemishes of this
bard—whose name is Franz Dingelstedt—the re-
viewer has evinced great "painstaking," and has
shown a capacity of entering into the peculiar nation-
ality of the noble but misgoverned Germany. Din-
gelstedt, who is one of the party entitled Young
Germany, and an enthusiastic follower of the cele-
brated Ludwig Uhland, has an intense love for na-
ture, a ready perception of everything that is noble
and gentle, a fierce thirst for the moral and political
regeneration of fatherland, a singular delicacy of
thought, and an exhaustless power of expression. In
this he has most of the requisites of a great poet,
and providing he abates somewhat of his pruriency
and sentimentality, and mysticism, may ultimately
achieve for himself a right to that glorious title.
He may, with assiduous self-culture, become num-
bered amongst the increasing band of geniuses
by which his language has been adorned; he
may take his place in the advancing literature
of Germany—that literature whose exertions to emu-
late the elder literature of England have been so
superbly described by Ma dame de Steel. May he
fulfil the anticipations which his recent productions
have germinated ! " Difficulties of a Theory of Hus-
band Catching" is an agreeable piece of banter which
poor Laman Blanchard would have thoroughly ap-
preciated. Of the poetical fragments scattered
through the pages of the magazine, the most merito.
rious are the lines upon " The Lost Eagle." The
description of the flight of the king-bird through the
tempest over the ocean is a bold attempt, but on the
whole a successful one. Some of the episodes (as they

GUILDHALL.

A policeman of the City force, named Robert Stokes,
was brought before Mr. Alderman Sidney charged with
committing the following shabby thefts from his " bro-
ther officers":— .

It appeared from the statement of the inspector, Mr.
Joy, and other witnesses, that at the station-house in h
Moor-lane there are about fifty of the men lodged, ey-
ing a mess-room and a kitchen in common, there being in
the latter a separate locker for each to keep his own pro-
visions, and other things. Every one of these lockers had
a different lock and key, notwithstanding which
from time to time it was discovered that one of the men
was in the habit of opening the lockers, in the absence
of the others, and pilfering the provisions. At length
suspicion fell on the prisoner, and his Sergeant F owlger,
89, determined to watch him, and accordingly this morn-,
ing, when the other men were at breakfast in the mess.
room, the prisoner was observed, through the window in
the kitchen, forcing open the lockers, and helping him-
self to slices of bread and meat from one and another. It
seemed that he cut a slice off one piece of bacon, 'which
had been marked to entrap him, as coins in a till are
sometimes marked to secure the conviction of a suspected
shopman. He was taken into custody, and, by order of
the Commissioner, brought to this court. lie admitted
that he had stolen the bread and meat, but attempted
to justify himself on the pretence that it was usual for
the men to pillage each other iu that way. This of
course was denied by the witnesses ; and the Alderman
observed that in ordinary cases he would have dealt with
so paltry a theft in a summary manner, but he thought
it necessary, when he found a policeman guilty of such
misconduct, to treat him with more than ordinary
severity, as it was expected from persons in his position
to conduct themselves with more than ordinary rectitude.
He committed the prisoner for trial.

Willrani Lowieke, a young man lately in the service of
Mr. Walton, newsvender, of 36, Bell yard, Temple Bar,
was placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine, charged with
embezzling several sums of money received as for his

Miss Tucker, of No. 5, Chancery-lane, said that in the
course of the week before last she paid the prisoner

LONDON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1846,

We have seldom perused dispatches from Bom-
bay with such peculiar gratification as those which
have just arrived. Everything that was gloomy,
foreboding, and unpropitious was condensed into the
preceding intelligence. With the present informa-
tion almost all our recent fears of a sanguinary
campaign in consequence of the insurrections in
Cashmere have been dissipated. Nor is this the only
satisfactory consideration. Sinde is reported to be
in a comparative state of tranquillity,--a circum-
stance to be marvelled at. like a mermaid or an
unicorn. Caubul, in like manner, is described to be
agitated by nothing more formidable than the
pageantries and festivities consequent upon the mar-
riage of the redoubtable MAHOMED ARBAR KHAN to
the daughter of the supreme ruler of Herat. There is a
probability, moreover, of the peaceful settlement of
affairs in Mooltan, notwithstanding the rumour which
is. prevalent of the movement of troops in that
direction. Before the departure of DEWAN 3/100ERAJ
MOOLTANEE from Lahore, we are sanguine that the
immediate difficulties opposed to the pacification of
that province may be removed. Until such an arrange-
ment be completed the stability of the Durbar will
continue to be most precarious. By certain inexpensive
and otherwise harmless concessions, the revolt might
be nipped in the bud," and its recurrence thereby ren-
dered almost impossible. In the anxiety of the new
administration to maintain its influence, and to perpe-
tuate its power, we have the best guarantee for the
prosecution of the pending negotiations in a man-
ner the most calculated to produce the desired effect.
numerous and conflicting insinuations which
have been latterly afloat to the discredit ofthe Lahore
Government .are proved to have been singu-
QYly fallacious. As we intimated in our last, for
example, there was a report of the faith-
lessness of the Durbar to a man the Cbief of Jamoo,
as nothing better than a successful rebel, and

SINDE.

From Kurrachee we have intellivsence to the 26th,
and of a few days' older date from all parts of
Sinde. October is the month of fevers which fellow
on the subsidence of the Indus, and a considerable
amount of this variety of sickness accordingly prevailed
all along the river. The climate towards the coast was
delightfully cool. Four of the war steamers constituting
the Indus flotilla had been placed at the disposal of CH:)-
vernment for goods and passenger transport. The ar-
rangements for plying them were partly incomplete; hut
it was believed they would run once a fortnight betwixt
Kurrachee and Sukkur, calling at all the intermediate
stations. This seems an eminently expedient andjudi-
cious arrangement. A very great reduction in the army
was expected to take plaseetinepJeanniiniagrya,

changes of magnitude and. importance were believed to be

will probably be one of the most intelligible hints that
can be given that if Sinde can only be maintained at a
dead loss of a million of money and a thousand men an-
nually—the past price current—we must part with it :
that we must try to salve our injured honour as we best
may: our resources cannot afford to foster false pride or
illegitimate vanity. Several courts-martial were impend-
ing. The results of that on Conductor INl'Donald proved
that the clamour about defrauding the men of their sup-
plies by false weights and balances was without any
foundation in fact.

We were in our last only able to intimate the fact
that Brigadier Wheeler had started with a force of from
6,000 to 10,000 men, to occupy Jamoo in the absence of

SOUTAWARK.-(THIS DAIL)

Bearde, alias Donovanot young man, with a
cut over, his right eye, was brought before Mr. Secker,
charged with entering the Dun Caw public-house, High-
street, with three other men, for the purpose of com-
mitting felony.
The prisoner, who is suspected of belonging to a gang
of thieves who plunder public-houses, walked into the
I)un Cow that morning about half-past eight o'clock.
They .went into the tap-room and called for a quartern
of rum*. and while the bar-maid was serving them the
prisoner took an opportunity of slipping unperceived out
of the room. In about five minutes afterwards he was
seen coming down stairs, and endeavoured to make a
‘ bolt" out of the house, but was prevented. On exa-
mination of the rooms up stairs, it was discovered that
three coats belonging to the landlord had been taken
out of his bed-room, and were found lying on the stair-
case, dropped, no doubt, by the prisoner, in his anxiety
to escape detection. His three companions escaped
during the confusion of the moment.
. When before the magistrate the prisoner asseverated
his innocence of having any felonious intention ; said
that it was all spite, and that he obtained his living by
honest means. _ -

A policeman, however, said the prisoner had been
frequently in custody, and that he belonged to a gang
of thieves who had succeeded in committing extensive
robberies on licensed victuallers.
The prisoner was committed to the House of Cor-
rection for three months. lie left the bar uttering loud
denunciations against the parties who had given him
into custody.

vision of every intelligent mind, and the solace of
every sympathising nature ; when the violation of public
peace is threatened, and the rights of property are no
longer acknowledged by the starving and destitute, it
is at that moment more especially than at any other
that the prorogation of the Imperial Parliament is
most advisable, it is at that moment that the distri-
bution of its elected and hereditary Members among
their indigent fellow-countrymen is most wise and
most beneficent.
The present Administration has regarded matters
as altogether superior to the interests of individual
statesmen. It has endeavoured to combat with the
infinite difficulties of this period, and it has striven
so to do not by yielding to a specious and clamorous
panic, but by modulating its conduct to the absolute
necessities of the times.

SECOND EDITION•
London, England, 1846-10-31

THE ANTI-RUSSELL MANIA.

The Rev. Thomas Hardinian, parish priest of Kil-
meena, in the archdiocese of Team, thus concludes an
epistle laudatory of his own exertions in mitigating the
poverty of the people:—
" At all events, if my poor people be doomehdantodsdsihealfl
starvation, as in all appearance they are, my
be innocent of their blood. I shall not venture to deci-
mate them, unless there be at least 300 allowed for Half-
parish, and 600 for Kilmeena. And, as the long-
threatened new works are in play, 5,000 men a day are
as little as can be safely named for work in this dis-
trict. In fact, I could not except five men out of the
general roll of distress in the whole length and breadth
of this parish. Only that I know it is useless to
appeal to ' the powers that be,' I would warn them not
to tamely look on any longer whilst thousands are
starving, unheeded, and I believe I may add, un-
pitied too. But experience proves that our rulers care
nothing about us. They have ears and hear not ;'
but perhaps our destitution is only imaginary, and our
hunger merely hypochondriac—all caused by our native
indolence in not having properly masticated and duly
digested the only tonic fit for an Irish stomach; namely,
our illustrious countryman' on political economy !'
So says Sir Randolph. Oh ! give me that great Tory
chief, with all his political sins upon his head, to grasp
the helm at this dreadful crisis with his master-hand,
and I will then hope that we shall weather the storm.
But,lconfess that my heartsinks to think that the noblest
people on God's earth are at this moment at the mercy
of a set of political jugglers, who seem to have no mercy
whatever for them. And rest assured, Sir, that mine is
no solitary voice ; I only give feeble expression to the
general dissatisfaction, if not absolute disgust, that is
felt at the cruel procrastinating policy pursued by the
Whig Government on both sides of the Channel. And
I should not be at all surprised if, before long, a univer-
sal cry be raised from end to end of Ireland calling on
Sir R. Peel to take the reins of power into his hands
again, and thus save the nation from destructibn.

prosecution on behalf of the Treasury, applied to the
Court to exercise the power it possessed of ordering a
reward to the constables, who appeared to have con-
ducted themselves in a very meritorious manner.
Mr. Justice ERLE said he considered the prosecution a
very important one, and that the exertions of the police
had brought to justice a person who could not be con-
sidered in any other light than a wholesale author of
crime, and that it was a great public advantage to check
the ccurse of Filch a person. He, therefore, should
direct that the usual reward given in such cases should
be awarded to the officers concerned in the case ; and
with regard to the prisoners, the sentence upon Fran.;-
lin and Wilkinson was, that they be transported for
seven years, and Walker for fourteen years.
John Lacy, 44, sailor, was indicted for cutting and
wounding Francis Townsend, a police constable, with
intent to do him grievous bodily harm.
The jury found the prisoner guilty of a common
assault, and he was sentenced to nine months imprison-
ment and hard labour.
