he rself was committed the duty of maintaining the
hi ,noun of the land of their fathers.

Sir J. PAXINGTON acknowledged the cordiality
w ith which his name had been received, and
Et xpressed his pleasure at having the oppor-
unity afforded him of becoming associated with
ventlemen whose names he had long known.
Ele heartily joined, as an English citizen, as a
m, ember of Parliament, and as one who had been
en trnsted, although for a short time, with the ad-
winistration of our colonial empire, in an earnest
wr3ll that the prosperity of Australia might long,
coill'inue. He urged the necessity of that concilia-
torr policy which had been recently adopted to-
wards our colonies. He pointed to the rapid rise
of tl \le Australian provinces ; and, as an instance of
it, s tated that not 30 years ago, when Lord Aber-
deen was Colonial Secretary, permission was refused
to et nigrants to erect a settlement at Port Phillip
on the ground that the colonies of Australia were
already sufficiently extensive. That very province
had in the last year collected four millions of re-
venue, its exports were eight millions, and it had
shippe d 100 tons of gold. (Hear, hear.) The loyalty
and affection of Australia for the mother country
bad been signally displayed by a contribution of
150,0001. to the Patriotic Fund, thus bearing a
large z elative proportion to the whole sum of 1i
million which bad been subscribed. He concluded
by expressing a hope that if, in the lapse of years
and the maturity of Australia, the time should
come when the relations between the mother
country and that colony were to cease, the parting
would take place in affection and friendship, and
with a determination, by means of friendly inter-
course and strict alliance, to promote the prosperity
of both countries.
The toast of " The Gold. Fields of Australia and
Sir R. Murchison," was proposed by Lord Alfred
Churchill ; and was followed by those of " The
Governors and Legislative Bodies of the Austra-
lian Colonies," proposed by Mr. Stephens ; "The
Guests," proposed by Mr. Childers; and "The
26th Jan., the Anniversary of the Foundation of
the first of the Australian Colonies," proposed by
Mr. W. Archer ; after which the company sepa-
rated at a late hoar.

EXTENSIVE DEFALCATIONS OP A POOR-RATE
COLLECTOR.

On Saturday evening, after Mr. Selfe had disposed of
the business of the Thames Police-court, Mr. Howell,
vestry clerk of the extensive-parish of St. George's-in-
the-East, who was accompanied by several of the
parochial functionaries and the secretary of the Blackwell
Railway, applied for a warrant to apprehend John
Fraser, formerly a Chartist agitator, and for several
years one of the poor rate collectors of the parish, who
had committed extensive defalcations, and absconded.
The rate-payers of St. George's-in-the-East have
been for a long time expecting that Fraser would be
prosecuted ; but the parish functionaries, who have a
compromise with Fraser's sureties, have been deliberat-
ing on the subject for s a months, and the criminal has
absconded. On the sth of August, 1857,
upon the
audit of the poor-rate book by the trustees of the parish
of St. George's, there appeared to be a very large
sum put down in the arrear column of the bo..k,
amounting to upwards of 1,500/. ; and amongst the
number of defaulters the London arid Blackwell
Railway Company was alleged to be in arrear
for 1051. 10s.. being the amount of two quarters'
rates, they having, in fact, paid 521. 15s. of
that sum on the sth of March, being the one quarter's
rate due from them upon the previous January rate, but
which sum was added to the 521. 15'. of the April rates,
and the two sums forming the 1051. ICs. inserted as
being still in arrear on the sth August, 1857. A large
number of ratepayers had paid Fraser sums varying from
10s. to 51. each, and had been returned in arrear, and
ocoupied houses of which the tenants had pia
the rates were returned as empty. It is believed
that Fraser had been carrying on this system ever
since he was appointed collector, about nine years
ago, and there is no doubt he has plundered ithe
parishioners of 500/, or 6001. Fraser was dismissed from
his office of collector, and actions brought against bis
sureties to recover the amount of his defalcations upon
a bond given by them to the trustees.
Mr. Howell having briefly stated that Fraser was a
defaulter, and had embezzled moneys hehad received for
and on account of the churchwardens, overseers, and
trustees of St. George, Middlesex, commonly called St.
George's-in-the-East, said he was directed by the parish
officers to apply for a warrant for the apprehension of
Fraser. The secretary of the Black wall Rail way Company
and various ratepayers were in attendance to prove the
payment of rates which Fraser had appropriated to his
own use.
Mr. Selfe—Where is the defaulter !

Howell—We don't know.
Mr. Selfe—Why do you require a warrant ?
Mr. Howell—Fraser bas been guilty of fraud and em
bezzlement.

Mr. Selfe—Where is he to be found?
Mr. Howell—That we don't know.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Jam. 26.

MANSION-HOUSE.---James Malin Was charged
under the following circumstances :

A policeman said—l saw this man at 8 o'clock in
the morning in such a condition as to be wholly
unable to drive his horses. He tumbled from one
side to the other, and I took him into custody, and
sent the cart and horses he was driving to the green
yard.
The• defendant—l never was drunk in my life
before, my lord, and lam sorry that I was so over-
taken this morning. _ _

The foreman of the defendant's employer said
the man had been in the service of his master for
eighteen months, and was a most sober and indus-
trious fellow, and when information was brought
that he was in the station-house, it could scarcely
be credited. _ _

The Lord Mayor said the good character given of
defendant was an unanswerable argument in his
favour, especially as he appeared to be really sorry
for having got into such a brutal condition.
The ciefendant—Depend upon it I will never get
into such a state again.

Mr. Selfe—Have yon an information in writing
prepared t
Mr. Howell—No, sir ; I was not aware it was required.
Mr. Livin,4ston, the chief neher,_said that Fraser was
charged with a criminal offence, and a written informa-
tion wai not necessary.
Mr. C. Young, solicitor, said he had beeti on the look-
out for three days for the purpose of opposing the applica-
tion to grant a warrant for the apprehension of Fraser.
There was no occasion. The offence was an indict-
able one, and the parish officers might have indicted
Fraser, and, if a true bill was found, obtained a bench
warrant. The parish officials bad compromised the
affair with Fraser's sureties, and paid 4001., and now
applied for a warrant against him.
Mr. Howell—The sureties have paid a large sum of
money, but that is no reason why the principal delinquent
should escaps.
. .

John Salmon was sentenced to Imprisonment for
two months for having been in the unlawful posses-
sion of a set of reins.

Thomas Cane was sentenced to imprisonment
with hard labour for three months, upon the charge
of having stolen a handkerchief.
He loudly contended that the gentleman who ac-
cused him was a liar, and laboured hard to per-
suade the Lord Mayor that he never had any inten-
tion of stealing anything. _

He was stated by th© gaoler to have been fre-
quently imprisoned for thieving, and to have been
in the habit of defending himself in the most impu-
dent manner.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Richard Stub-
bins, a corporal in the Grenadier Guards, was
charged with assaulting one person and drawing his
bayonet on ?mother.
Adam Johnson, 19, Queen Anne's-mews, coach-
man, saw the defendant knock down a little
boy and beat him with the knobbed end of his
stick. He told the defendant that it was a shame
to ill-use such a boy. The prisoner replied he
would serve him the same, and then struck him
and knocked him down. The defendant drew his
bayonet, but. his companion called out to him not
to do that.

This statement having been corroborated by a
witness named Dennis,
The soldier, in defence, said he was surrounded
by a number of persons who wanted to muzzle him,
and what he did was in self-defence.
The complainant said this was not correct.
Mr. Beadon inflicted the fine of 5/. or two months.
The fine was paid.

-
LAMBETH.—An application was made on be-
half of a Mrs. Mary Ann Brown for a certificate
under the new bill to protect her property from
her husband. It appeared that the parties were
married in 1850, and that in 1854, the husband
having neglected his wife and children had
been summoned to this court by the parish. At
that time the husband had a situation in the Gene-
ral Post-office, with a salary of 2501. a year, and he
undertook to allow his family 255. a week. In a
short time after, however, he lost his appointment,
and from that time to the present had done nothing
for his wife and two children.
Mr. Elliott, on hearing the facts, at once granted
the order as required.

SOUTHWARK.—John McCarthy and Owen
M'Sweeny were charged before Mr. Burcham with
assaulting Mr. John Francis and Mr. Arthur Jor-
r ell, medical gentlem en connected wit h St. Thomas's
Hospital.

Mr. Ed win, of the Dover-road, appeared for the
defendants.
Mr. Francis said that shortly before one o'clock
on the morning of Wednesday last he was with Mr.
lorrell and another gentleman connected with St.
Thomas's Hospital, near the latter place, having
just left a patient. While bidding each other good
bye, they heard an uproar in Maze-pond, which
induced them to go and see what was the matter.
On their arrival there they saws drunken man being
carried into a house, surrounded by several persons,
and while witness was passing, Mead hy came up
to him, and asked him to fight. He refused to
do so, and M'Sweeny rushed out of a house and
struck him a violent blow on the head, which
caused him to fall. Each time he tried to get up
he was knocked down and kicked, and had not one
of his friends fetched a constable, he would have
been half-murdered. As it was, he was so ill-used
that be could not leave his bed for 24 hours.

In cross-examination, witness said he was only
with his two friends, and they were all sober. They
did not make any noise or call out " Fire." The
assault was quite unprovoked.
Mr. Arthur Jorrell said he was with Mr. Francis
and another medical gentleman. They were quite
sober, having just left a patient. When they heard
the noise in Maze-pond they went there, and
M'S weeny rushed out of the house and committed
the unprovoked assault on Mr. Francis. Their
friend went for a constable, and as soon as he came
in sight the cowardly ruffian, M'Sweeny, ran away

Mr. Sells—Give him into custody whenever and

had died, and there appearing no chance of repay-
ment, Dr. Bryan had resorted to an expedient,
which he (Mr. Southwell) thought was unworthy
of his position, to rid himself of the burden. It
appeared that one of Dr. Bryan's attendants took
the lunatic from his master's asylum to a public-
house in the City of London, engaged a bed, slept
there with the lunatic, and in the morning took
him to the City Union Workhouse, in the Bow-
road, claiming admission for him there. The porter
of the City union-house very properly refused to
admit the lunatic without any order from the re-
lieving officer in the City ; whereupon Dr. Bryan's
man left, stating he would go into the City and
obtain an order ; but instead of doing so be turned
on his heel and left
the lunatic in the Mile-end-
road, where he teas found. Thence he was sent to
the Mile-end workhouse. To show Dr. Bryan's
connection withthe affair, the following letter from
him was read :-...

Mr7Selfe—You require no warrant. Anybody may
take him, or give him in cbarge, if the facts are as you
state them. Except in ♦ery special cases it is better that
no warrants be granted. If I grant my warrant, and
he is taken into custody upon it, no one will be liable
if he is wrongfully arrested ; bat if he is taken into
custody without a warrant, the party charging him will
be liable if his arrest should happen to be illegal.
Mr. Howell and the deputation who accompanied him
then withdrew.

Raroum Manilla AT RorTow.—A public meeting
was held at Royton, on Thursday evening, for the pur-
pose of considering the subject of political reform. Mr.
Miles Taylor having been called to the chair, a com-
mittee was appointed to frame resolutions and prepare a
petition to Parliament to be submitted to a general
public meeting to be called on an early day. A resolu-
tion was also adopted, directing the committee to
embody the following principles in the first resolution
—A. right to vote for a member of Parliament by every
male adult of sound mind, untainted with crime, who
has attained the age of 21 years ; that all voters have
the protection of the ballot ; the abolition of the property
qualification of the members, so that the voters may
send whom they choose to represent them : that
members of parliament be paid for their services, so
that pecuniary difficulties may not prevent a man from
going to parliament if the people think proper to send
him ; that the electoral districts be made as equal as
possible, in order tbat every member may represent an
equal number of electors, and that the elections take
place annually, so that a district that happens to get a
representative who does not meet the views of the electors
may have the chance of removing at the end of the year.
The meeting was suite unanimous.—Manchester Guar-

[Anynauseam-TA—Messrs. Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica
Food has 'at length solved the problem which has kept the
learned and studious at cross purposes in all ages, from Hip-
pocrates to Abernethy. The authentic testimony of fifty
thousand known witnesses has proclaimed the joyful truth
that, in stages of dire disease, where medicine had totally
failed, the use of this preparation has restored vigour, cheer-
fulness, ease of mind and body, and raised sufferers from a
condition in which death was longed for as a release from
lingering woe, to one in which life is not only prolonged, but
cherished, because enjoyed. Take one instance, described by
the Rev. J. W. Flavell, Rector of Ridlington, which is a
specimen of thousands upon thousands of similar testi-
monies. The reverend gentleman says :____." Mary Emerson
(a servant of Mr. Flavell's), aged thirty, has for the last
eight years, been in delicate health. Her complaint was
dyspepsia in an aggravated form, and she suffered every two
or three days with violent attacks of spasms in the stomach
and chest, being constantly sick after partaking of food, how-
ever small the quantity, or carefully chosen the quality. Sho
had a constant pain in the side, and became so much debili-
tated that it was with great difficulty she could walk up
stairs. She received occasional relief from medical treatment,
but never for long together, and at the commencement of this
year her state was most deplorable." After using Messrs.
Du Barry's preparation for some time, as an article of food,
she recovered her health, cheerfulness, and activity. The
rev, gentleman goes on to say :—" It is not in my power to
express her feelings at the change, which, indeed, is a matter
of astonishment as well as thankfulness to all here." Such
certificates of the salutary efficacy of the dint (for it is dis•
tinctly to be understood that it is neither a drug, um' what
is commonly called a medicine, but an agreeable and palat-
able article of food) are pouring in dally, and can leave no
doubt in the minds of intelligent persons, that it stands
aloue and unapproached—far and away--at the head of every
thing which science has yet discovered for the preservation
of tealth, and the eradication of pain and disease

was charged with
re-
siding at 66, Margaret-street, Cavendish-square,
assaultina and beating his wife,
Sarah Ann Spratt.
Mr. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared
for the defendant, who pleaded not guilty.
The complainant, a well-dressed young woman,

'EDNESDAY EVENING,
_JANUARY 27, 18x8.

deposed that she resided at 39, Brompton-row. She
was married to the defendant in 1849, but she left
him about two years ago, and had not lived with
him since. She had two children, a boy about four
years of age, who was living with her father, and a
little girl about seven, who had always been under
witness's protection. On Friday night, the 15th
inst., about half-past 10 o'clock, her husband came
to her house with another man and endeavoured
to carry off her child by force. They were both in
bed at the time. He knocked at the door, and was
admitted by a lady who resided on the ground-
floor. Witness's servant got up and went down-
stairs to the defendant, and told him that witness
had retired to rest. He used very disgraceful lan-
guage, and followed the servant up-stairs into wit-
ness's bed-room, where he dragged the child, who
was in her night clothes, out of bed. She told him
that he should not have the child without he took
legal means, and more especially as she was un-
dressed. He then called out for a blanket to wrap
round the child, and commenced dragging the
clothes off the bed. Witness screamed, and some of
her lodgers came to her assistance. The defendant
carried the child down stairs, and he there gave her
over to his companion. Witness resisted the child
being carried off in that way, and her husband
commenced striking her in the chest. It was not
done by pushing her away. She called in the police,
and they refused to allow the child to be taken
away iu her night clothes : her husband did not
take away the child.
By Mr. Lewis—Her husband had never applied
in the legal way to have the custody of the child.
She denied that she was cohabiting with any man.
She never passed by the name of Mrs. Campbell.
She had an aunt of that name. She considered
those questions ought not to be put to her.
Mr. Lewis said he wished to show that the
witness was not a proper person to have the cus-
tody of her child.
Mr. Ingham said the question for him to decide
was whether any assault had been committed. If
the defendant was justified in going after his child
then there would be no assault, but if on the con-
trary he had no right to take away his child, then
there would be an assault.
The wife said her husband had endeavoured to
obtain a divorce by perjury. She did not object to
give up her children if he took the legal steps. Her
proctor had advised her not to give up the children
without her husband Arst applied to the Lord
Chancellor for a writ of habeas corpus.
Mr. Ingham said that was the point. He would
see whether the defendant had any such authority.
a Mr. Lewis said he had no writ to produce.
Mr. Ingham wished to know where the answer
was to the case. The factsappeared to be admitted.
Mr. Lewis said it was simply that the defendant
went after his child, believing that the mother was
not the proper person to have the custody of it. If
he was no tjustified then he (Mr. Lewis)vrould submit
the assault was not a serious one.
Mr. Ingham agreed that the assault in fact was a
mere technical one.

The wife said her object was to prevent her hus-
band coming and dragging them out of bed in the
presence of another man. Her lodgers were
highly respectable, and of course they would not
stop if there was a repetition of such conduct.
Mr. Lewis begged to say his client intended to
take the legal steps to secure the custody of his
ohildren.

Mr. Ingham then said he would bind the defen-
dant over in his own recognisances in the sum of
501. to be of good behaviour for the next 12 months.
