the part of the Earl of MALMESUURY. Whatever
the instructions last sent out to Governor DOUGLAS
by the Colonial Secretary, but little good, we conjec-
ture, can reasonably be looked for in that direction,
unless the proclamation, if' not actually recalled,
be not gracefully and graciously modified in its tone.
As it is—it is a temptation to misrule, an incentive
to outbreak, a glove of lefiance thrown down per-
versely at the feet of an ally with whom we have
been not very recently and with some difllculty,first
on one side, then on theother, reconciled. If anything
additional had been required in the way of illustra-
ting the folly of giving up entirely to the discretion
of the servants of a fur-trading company of selfish
monopolists the rule of such gigantic tracks of terri-
tory as those embraced within the compass of the
Hudson's Thly dominions—that additional illustration
would be discoverable at a glance in the proceedings
upon which Governor DOUGLAS had adventured before
ever dreaming of consulting the wishes of her MA-
JESTY'S Government. The creation of this new
colony of British Columbia is inaugurative at last,
however, we do believe, of a system, by the rapid
development of which we may now reason-
ably hope to witness by the setting aside of
that fatal Charter the ultimate and long-wished-for
subversion of the Hudson's Bay Company as the
delegated rulers of our uncultivated and unpeopled
North American territory ! Territory, neverthe-
less, so soon as the incubus of the last two hun-
dred years shall have been removed—destined,
we do believe, thanks immediately to the gold-
diggings upon Frazer's River, but indirectly to the
all-mastering energies of the Anglo-Saxon race—to
be cleared by the axe of the settler, to be brought
under the share of his plough and under the spikes
of his harrow, to be threaded by a grand trunk rail-
way having branches hither and thither ; in short,
to be gifted with the gifts and blessed with the bles-
sings inseparable frim the benign influences of our
modern civilization.

THAMES.

SAVAGE ASSAELL—WIFE BEATING.—Charles Wright,
a cooper, of No. 5, Bird-in-the-Bush-terrace, Limehouse,
was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with assaulting
Esther his wife.
The complainant said she had been married to the defend-
ant 22 years. He had frequently beaten her, and was an
incorrigible drunkard She led a most unhappy life with
him. Last night he came home intoxicated, created a dis-
turbance, and called her most filthy names. He went out
again, made another disturbance when he returned at 12
o'clock, and then struck her repeatedly upon the head and
body. She received three violent blows on the breast.
Mr. Yardley—On the breast ?
The Wife—Yes, sir, I am in very great per. He has
frequently beaten me and kicked me. My body is now
marked in various places. My life is a burden to me.
Charles Mills, a police-constable, said he heard the
screems of the woman, and went to her assistance. The
prisoner, in his presence, struck his wife under her ear,
and knocked her down.
The prisoner, a dissipated looking fellow, said he was
drunk—he was very sorry. He here trembled excessively,
and hung on by his hands to the top of the dock.
Mr. Yardley—You are a great brute. This is the effect
of drunkenness. I am compelled to repeat, almost daily,
there would be very little business for magistrates if it was
not for that most terrible vice—drunkenness. You are sen-
tenced to two months' imprisonment, and hard labour.

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Coastwise, a full average supply of English wheat-
-2,830 quarters—has been received up to our market this
week. Fresh up, to-day, by land-carriage, the receipts
were limited, and the show of samples was small. The
trade, however, was Very quiet, at Monday's currency.
The imports of foreign wheat have amounted to 5,850
quarters, and the supply on offer was large. All descrip-
tions met a dull inquiry, but we have no change to notice
in prices. Floating cargoes met a slow sale.
The show of both English and foreign barley was only
moderate, and the trade may be called steady, at full quota-
tions.
Malt realised full prices ; but the demand for it was by
no means active.
We were well supplied with oats, in which a fair average
business was transacted at Monday's currency.
Beans, peas, and flour were unaltered in value.

to herself she denied it, and on her father repeating
it she said that, not wishing to contradict him, she
" kept it to herself," and declared she had never
told. a falsehood on the subject. . Her stepmother
after the first violence of her father towards her,
said, " How very wrong this is for him to be doing
so," and she (witness) replied that it was, and told
her she had no business to hold her as she had, when
she replied, "Oh, what matters?" This was a good
while before she left. When the magistratetold her
she had perjured herself she had spoken the truth.
She had seen . her stepmother go with a man across
to his own_ place, and that was after her father had
gone out to work. She went down in her night
dress, and stayed
.half-an-hour with the man, and
had done so about five times. Her father said his
wife went to a 1,4 house, and then it was she had
told him what* she had seen. The witness further
said.
.that before 'her stepmother went away she.
used to ask her (witness) to go upstairs, and
on her doing so her father used to take in-
decent liberties with her in his wife's pre-
sence, but on one occasion he turned her out of
the room. Improper conduct between her father
and herself had taken place six or seven times
while her stepmother was in the room.
Mrs. Mary Farrell, the aunt of the last witness,
was next called, and in cross-examination by Mr.
Wontner said " The girl lived with me in Ireland
from a year old till she went to her father, she
being then 14 years of age. I don't remember that
I ever said that she had been guilty of any in-
decency towards herself. She knew as little of
indecency as a child 10 years old, and I don't
recollect ever taxing her with any 'such thing. I
have not done so, nor have I ever told her father so."
MT. Sleigh here applied fora remand, which was
granted, but Mrs. Itudledge was admitted to bail.
It was stated at the former examination that the
prisoner was a clerk in the Arsenal, Woolwich
Dockyard, but it appears he is only a labourer
there.

ALLEGED RAPE IN ESSEX.

(From the Essex Herald.)
On Saturday last, at the county, magistrates'
office, before S. G. Cooke and W. It. Havens,
Esqrs., George Cudmore, aged 33, carrier from
West Mersea to Colchester, was charged with com-
mitting a rape upon Mary Ann Roofe, a single
woman, aged 19, in the service of Mr. Henry John
May, oyster merchant at West Mersea, on Tues-
day, the 16th November. Prosecutrix is the daugh-
ter of James Roofe, for 25 years a respectable offi-
cer of the Colchester borough police. For obvious
reasons we omit certain details of the evidence
adduced.
Mr. J. H. Church appeared for the prosecution,
and Mr. H. Jones defended the prisoner.
Mr. Church, in opening the case, said that pro-
secutrix up to this occurrence had always been a
very decent and well-behaved girl, and he did not
suppose that there would be the slightest imputa-
tion cast upon her character.
Mr. Church then called the prosecutrix, a rather
good-looking young woman, aged 19, who came up
with her parents, and whose evidence, taken the
previous day, before W. R. Havens, Esq., was read
over to her and signed. It was to the effect that on
Tuesday morning, Nov. 16, the prisoner, George Cud-
more, a carrier from West Mersea to Colchester,
called at Mr. May's, her master's house, as was his
custom, about half-past eight, and said "Good morn-
ing, Mary ; is your master ashore ?" She replied he
was not : and at this time she was busy in the little
parlour taking dirt out of the fire-place. He then
made use of expressions which led her to suppose
he intended to take liberties with her, and she told
him he should not. She went into the kitchen,
where he followed her, took hold of both her wrists,
drove her against the wall, and pulled up her
clothes. She called out that her master was com-
ing, and he let her go. He again seized hold of
her, and thrust her on to a chair, and she called
out, "For God's sake, don't !" le said, " I will,
be ----," and committed the offence, although she
.strove against him with all her power, but could
not prevent him ; she told him she would tell her
master, and he said, " Don't be such a fool ;" she
saw her master in about twenty minutes, but did
not like to tell him, and her mistress was in Lon-
don; as soon as she could leave the house between
ten and eleven o'clock of the same day, she told Mrs.
Cook, who lives in a cottage adjoining their gar-
den ; her father came to see her the next day, and
she told him. Cudmore had twice before tried to
have connexion with her.

The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in
this company was held on Wednesday at Newport,
Mr. Crawshay Bailey, M.P., vice-chairman, pre-
siding.
The report of the directors, an abstract of which
appeared in The Sun of Friday last, Was read.
The CHAIRMAN briefly commented on the report,
'obeerving that it gave► 31 instead of a 5 per cent. -
dividend, the reason of the diminution being the
failure of one of their largest freighters. The
traffic had not fallen off. The entire deficiency for
the half-year was only £1,741 as compared with
the preceding six months, and the quantity of iron
conveyed was more than in the preceding half-year.
The coal tonnage was pretty nearly the same, but
in other minerals there was a falling off. As re-
garded merchandise little alteration had taken
place, but the passenger traffic had fallen off to the
amount of nearly £2,000. That might be accounted
for by the reduction of wages on the bills. He
would say, for the encouragement of distant share-
holders, that there was no ground for being
disheartened at the 3 per cent. dividend, for he
felt confident that in future a steady dividend of 5
per cent. would be paid. (Hear, hear.) The chair-
man concluded by moving the adoption of the
report.
Mr. E. J. PHILLIPS seconded the motion.
Alderman LATCH expressed an opinion that the
shareholders ought to be afforded some explanation
with reference to the debt of Messrs. Price. He
asked what security was had from the freighters.
The CHAIRMAN said, unfortunately the company
had no security from Messrs. Price, but at one time
they owed a much larger sum of money. Their
tonnage amounted to about £7OO a-month.
Mr. E. J. PHILLIPS thought proper security
should be required of all freighters.
Sir. C. MORGAN observed that the directors had
come to the resolution that the traffic should be
carried upon the same principle as was observed by
the Taff Vale Company--namely, to pay up on
certain days specified.
The following resolution was then passed, and,
after some further business had been transacted,
the meeting separated :
" That dividends at the rate of £3 10s. per cent.
per annum on the ordinary share capital of the com-
pany be declared for the half-year ending June 30,
1858, and that such dividend be paid on the 31st of
December, 1858, to the proprietors whose names
stand on the register."

REPORT OP THE BOMBAY MARKET FROM 9TH TO 24TH
OCT, 1858.
The monsoon season is now considered to be finally over.
Our money market is easy. Four per Cent. paper is at 86,
and Fives at 931. The cotton piece goods market showed
some little quietude a few days before the departure of last
mail (9th Oct.), but upon the arrival of the last advices
from home it soon assumed its wonted activity. The amount
of business done has been to a fair extent, and our stock is
very small. Consequent on the near approach of the De-
wallee holidays there will be less doing in the ensuing
fortnight.

MURDER IN IRELAND.

The Cork Examiner contains the following par-
ticulars of a shocking murder which has been re
cently perpetrated in the west of that county. In
this instance itdoes not appear that Ribandism had
any connection with the crime :—" Schull, Nov.
15.—An inquest was held here on Saturday last
before Mr. Paul Limerick, coroner for the West
Riding, upon the body of Patrick Burke, a quiet
and inoffensive young man, who was murdered
under circumstances of the most fearful atrocity.
It appeared that a few evenings ago Burke was re-
turning home from the fair of Golcen, and when
a little way out of the village he was set upon by
a party of miscreants, who knocked him down,
jumped on him, fractured his skull in five places
(leaving him, in Dr. M'Cormick's words, a com-
plete mummy'). He lingered in great agony since
the occurrence and died on Friday last. intima-
tion of the outrage having reached Sergeant All-
well, of the Dunmaness station, he, with prompti-
tude and perseverance most praiseworthily suc-
ceeded in arresting the perpetrators of the bar-
barous and inhuman outrage before morning ; and
on yesterday (Sunday), after a fatiguing and haras-
sing day's work, he succeeded in making another
arrest. No cause has been clearly assigned for this
wanton attack. Some say it was about fortune,'
Minehan's (the principal) sister being married to
the unfortunate Burke's b_ other. Others say that it
arose from a long-treasured vengeance, for a beat-
ing Mmehan received some time ago, but which
the unfortunate deceased had no hand in. The
Court was occupied until an advanced hour on Sa-
turday evening investigating the facts of this me-
lancholy affair, and the jury, after a calm and im-
partial sitting, returned a verdict of waylaying
and murder' against the following persons, all of
whom are in custody :—Jeremiah Minehan,Michael
Driscoll, Denis Driscoll, Thos. Driscoll, John Mar-
tin, and Denis Hourgan." With respect to the
murder in Clare of a man named Clancy, the Lime-
rick Chronicle, a Conservative paper, gives this in-
formation:—" The parish priest of Killard, almost
every Sunday since the murder of Chas. Clancy in,
his parish, near Kilkee, has denounced the perpe-
trators of the awful deed on that harmless young
man, in the strongest language possible. After
mass, at Bealhaha, within half a-mile of the scene
of the dreadful crime, after a good and long ser-
mon, and after denouncing the murderer, he said,
that father or mother, brother or sister, friend or
relation, or any other person who had any know-
ledge of the murder, if they did not go to the
magistrates cf police and tell all they knew about
it, that they were as guilty of the crime in the
sight of God as the fiend who fired the shot, and
that they could not expect salvation until they gave
the murderer up to justice. He did not think there
was a man in existence who had a heort within him
or had a spark of principle or manly feeling in his
bosom, who would not wish to see the perpetrator
of that awful murder hanging, if possible, as high
as the stars."

OPEN DAY AND NIGHT, from 11 o'clock a.m. until 12
o'clock p.m. The New Gallery contains an extensive Collec-
tion of Pictures, by Ancient and Modern Masters and is also
devoted to Art productions generally. The Proprietor feels
he may confidently assert that, viewed altogether, the exist-
ing Music Hall, the New Fine Arts Gallery, and the recently
added Ante-Hall, will present an attraction which, whether
as regards the architectural beauty of the structures them-
selves, or the varied and hitherto unattempted combinations
within, will be found to be wholly without parallel in the
Kingdom.

FATAL AFFRAY WITH POACHERS.

On Wednesday morning at two o'clock a terrible
encounter took place between gamekeepers and
poachers on the estate of Mr. Richard Watt, of
Bishop Burton, a small village about three miles
from' Beverley. A gamekeeper named Jacques was
killed by gunshot ; a watcher named Barrow so
seriously wour.ded on the head and face that he was
declared by the medical men to be rapidly sinking ;
and a third received so much shot in his abdomen
as to render impossible his removal to give evi-
dence ; his case is one of danger. Ten or twelve
poachers were engaged in the affray.
By about five o'clock intelligence of the event was
received by the chief constable of Hull, who imme-
diately caused all the approaches to the.town to be
watched. About seven o'clock five men were met
entering the town from Beverley-road. Two of
these men, named Charles Franklin and Thomas
Johnson, one of whom is a Lincolnshire man, while
the other belongs to Hull, had upon them two nets,
with sticks and other implements of poaching, and
were carrying three hares ; and they also had with
them two dogs. They were taken into custody.
The other three were allowed to depart.
In the course of the day Superintendent Ward
stated at the police-court that he had received in-
formation that Barrow, the watcher, was dying,
and that it was necessary to take the prisoners at
once to Bishop Burton, in order that Barrow might,
if he were able to do so, identify them before he
died. Poltce-constable ohnson accompanied him
with "the two prisoners, and they proceeded by
the 4.15 train from Hull to Beverley. The nets,
bags, hares, and one of the dogs, were also for-
warded, as well as some guns, which have been
traced to the possession of the prisoners.
It is stated that considerable ill-feeling had bees
provoked by Jacques having shot the dogs of some
poachers about three weeks ago.
