WANDERINGS IN NEW SOUTH WALES,
" This is a very entertaining and valuable work. Mr. Bennett
appears to have started on his wanderings' with no precon-
ceived theories, no party bias on the question of colonization,
no predilections, in short, of any kind, but seems to have been
determined to investigate minutely, and to report in a faithful
spirit, all he saw, whether connected with geography, with the
phenomena of the various seas he sailed over, with the condi-
tion of the singular forms of society among which he was cast,
with the botanical curiosities he witnessed, or with the still
rarer investigations he was enabled to make into the a.,elogy
of the distant regions explored by him. In the two last re-
spects his book is especially minute and interesting, and were
there in it no other objects of attraction, these alone would
ensure for it a reputation similar to that obtained by Mr.
White's delightful Natural History of Selborne,' to which
the parts we allude to in Mr. Bennett's book are written in a
congenial spirit.”—Morning Chronicle.
The revenue collected from eggs alone in the port
of Ramsgate amounts to upwards of 7,0001. !—and almost all
for London.

ROMANTIC OCCURRENCE.—The Gazette des
Tribunaux mentions that towards the beginning of November
a very singular trial will take place in the Court of Assizes
of the department of the Seine. The affair in question is re-
lative to a duel without witnesses. In a piece represented
at the Theatre de la Gaiete, entitled Pretez moi ring francs,
there is-an incident of a somewhat similar nature, but the
authors, who took their plot from the " Two Kliusberg" of
Kotzebue, had no idea that an analogous event had taken
Place a short distance from Paris. M. Lethuillier, who keeps
a maison de sante, had an intimate friend, M. Vaudebant.
Imagining that he had discovered a criminal intercourse be-
tween his wife and his friend, he challenged the latter ; and,
from some unaccountable motive, the husband was desirous
that the cause of the death of the individual who should fall
should remain unknown. He therefore required that the
duel should take place without witnesses ; but each of the
adversaries was to hove a writing in his pocket, stating that
the death of the person who might be found lying on the
ground was not to be attributed to an assassination. They
repaired to the wood of Romainville ; pistols were the chosen
Weapons, and it was agreed that the two adversaries should
walk towards each other, and fire when they thought proper.
M. Lethuillier (the husband) states that, having his attention
called off by seeing a woman passing on the public road hard
IV, he stopped suddenly, whilst M. Vaudebant continued to
advance, and fired when at a short distance from him. M.
Lethuillier fell, and, according to his account, he implored
the aid of his adversary, but his cries were unattended to;
and M. Vaudebant, believing he had killed him, took to
flight, carrying off the two pistols. However, this unfortunate
husband was not mortally wounded ; but as his profile was
presented to his. adversary when he fired, the ball had carried
away both his eyes, but the brain hid not been touched. He
crawled as well as he could out of the wood, and succeeded at
length in gaining the high-road, where he met with assist-
ance. When M. Lethuillier was quite cured of his wounds,
he brought an action against M. Vaudebant, who surrendered
voluntarily.

A meeting of individuals interested in the various depart-
ments of th above trade, was held yesterday at the Me-
chanics' Institute, Southampton-buildings, to take into con-
sideration the report of the Committee appointed to adopt
measures for opposing the present monopoly of the different
branches of the trade by the principal master builders.
The meeting was not near so numerously attended as the
former one held last month, nor did there appear that ex-
citement on the subject which previously existed.
A Mr. MAIZE having taken the chair, Mr. LOVETT pro-
ceeded to address the meeting. He complained of the de-
sertion of their cause by many who bad professed the ut-
most zeal, and he regretted to see so thin an attendance o!'
even the members of the Committee. He proceeded, at
great length, to reiterate the grievances under which the
master, in a limited sphere of business, was at present la-
bouring, to compete with the monopolist and more wealthy
trader. His object was to maintain all the rights which
capital possessed, but at the same time to ensure labour its own
reward. As things now stood, he considered the workman in
no better condition than a slave, and the master one of the
worst description of despots, who, by demanding their signa-
ture to the declaration, assumed a power greater than any pos
sessed by the King himself. After repeating many circum-
stances to show the evils arising from monopoly, and those
arguments which have so frequently been urged in the be-
half of the smaller Ei4ieription of tradesinen as well as the
operatives, he concluded by reading a series of resolutions,
which had been drawn up by the Committee, and were now
submitted for adoption by the meeting. They were to the
following effect :—That a society consisting of master
tradesmen in the building branches be formed for the pur-
pose of protecting the tradesman in the exercise of his own
peculiar branch, for counteracting monopoly, and forfncou-
raging a union of interests between the operative artisan,
mechanic, and labourer, as also good moral conduct, so-
briety, frugality, and industry in all ; that the society consist
of the various branches of the building trade, that each
branch be governed by their own by-laws, such society being
accountable to a general Committee composed of deputies
of the different branch trades, &e., and a general benefit
fund be subscribed to aid the aged and infirm, &c.
These resolutions were finally adopted, after some dis-
cussion, a dispute having arisen as to the trades to be formed
into separate societies, the carpenters and joiners opposing
their union with sawyers, the bricklayers with the plasterers,
&c. The meeting then separated.
