LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1844.

When we first hoard of the appointment of Lord
HEYTEIBURT to the Viceroyalty of Ireland, we
thought it far from unlikely—and we stated our im-
pressions at the time in The Sun—that the policy pur-
sued by his Lordship would be of a conciliatory cha-
racter ; and that, Tory though he is knows to be—
having graduated in the school of LIVERPOOL and
CMTLEREAGR—he would undo much that had been
done by his predecessor ; and legislate for the Irish in
a spirit more suited to their best interests than has
ever yet been attempted by any Lord-Lieutenant
who has been installed in Dublin Castle under the
direct auspices of Toryism. we came to this con-
clusion, first, from the necessity of the case ; and,
secondly, from the character of the Noble Lord, who
is known to be a man of vast experience and great
political sagacity—qualities which are not often
found in company with obstinacy and intolerance.
That we have not been mistaken in our. im-
pressions, is, we think, pretty evident from the
answer which Lord lIETTZOLWRY delivered on
Friday last to an address from the Remon-
strant Synod of Ulater, congratulating him on his

appointment to the Irish Viceroyalty, and expressing
a fervent hope that he would administer the laws
with strict impartiality, and with a firm resolution to
recommend such conciliatory changes and remedial
measures as might be most beneficial to the sister
country. " You may be assured, Gentlemen," was
the emphatic reply of his Lordship, " hat it is my
earnest desire to administer existing laws with scru-
pulous impartiality, and with a full intention to re-
commend such conciliatory changes and improve-
ments as may tend at once to secure the peace and
prosperity of Ireland, and to confirm the power and
integrity of the United Kingdom. Happy, indeed,
shall I be at the close of my administration,
to find confidence superseding distrust, affection dis-
placing alienation, and the confusion of religious and
political strife settling into social harmony and na-
tional prosperity." Vague as this answer must be
confessed to be, yet when we consider the period at
which it is delivered, it cannot fail to be regarded
otherwise than as a sign of good omen; and, coupled
with the significant declaration respecting Ireland,
made unsolicited by Sir ROBERT PEEL towards the
close of the last session, it affords, we are willing to
believe—though Heaven knows we are far from being
eager to place implicit faith in Tory promises !—a
satisfactory proof that Government have at length
come to the determination of amending the en-
tire defective system of their Irish policy, and
putting down the Repeal agitation by ,the best and
most effectual of all means—conciliation and impar-
tiality. Indeed, it would not at all surprise us were Sir
ROBERT PBEL to play the Catholic Emancipation
game over again—that is to say, astonish Ireland and
the whole empire by the enlarged and comprehensive
character of his remedial measures, and give his
sudden and strenuous support to plans of which he
has been all his life the determined opponent. It is
no argument in favour of his continuing to uphold
the monstrous abuses of the Irish Protestant Esta-
blishment, that he upheld them last session, for all
the world knows that his last decided speech in the
year 1828 was made against Emancipation , and
that his first decided one in the year 14'29
was made in favour of that measure. fie-
sides, we retain a vivid recollection of Lord
WMARNCLIFFE'S late Education speech at Le eds,
which was avowedly official in its character, and
must have impressed its readers with the belief that
the Premier, though he would be as ready as ( tver
to uphold the rightful authority of the Church, was
by no means disposed to submit to its arbitrary pwe-
tensions, but would henceforth take care to see that
fair play was awarded to that vast and influential
mass of the community who dissent from its doc-
trines. All things considered, therefore, we abide by
the opinion which we expressed some weeks since in
The Sun—namely, that Sir R. PEEL is resolved to
turn over a new leaf as respects Ireland, and pursue
such a remedial and conciliatory course of policy as
may lay the foundation of permanent tranquillity
in the sister country. And indeed it is high time
that he should do so, for the present aspect of. Irish
affairs is of the most portentous character ; and the
recent appearance in the field of agitation of Orange-
men and Conservatives, with schemes for Federal and
Triennial Parliaments, clearly shows how excited is
the national mini, and how acute the coneciowness,
among all classes of Irishmen, of the wrongs 'which
they have for years sustained at the hands of Eng-
land. When an avowed Conservative, and one too of
high station in Ireland, and whose acquirement' are
generally allowed to be of a superior character, and
who, moreover, can have no ulterior purpose of his
own to serve—when such a man comes earnestly for-
ward with a proposal for a Federal Parliament in
Dublin, and receives the thanks, and is admitted to
the confidence cf the Repealers, in consequence of such
proposal, be sure that the time is arrived when reme-
dial measures for Ireland can no longer be postponed
with safety

Among the "celebrities," or, as our fathers would
have better called them, the " Worthies" of the pre-
sent day, no name seems destined to occupy a prouder
position in the contemplation of posterity than that of
Sir HENRY POTTINGER. His memory will belong
not merely to a nation, but to all Asia and all Europe.
His renown will be an inheritance not confined to his
kindred, his descendants, his country, but diffused
through all civilisation. When another generation or
two shall have passed away, and men find leisure to
contemplate the career of British greatness in these
our own times, with eyes undazzled by the glittering
trophies of military valour and achievement—with
judgments unperverted by the accidents of splendid
position and victorious fortunes, they will distin-
guish, accurately, between the more specious and
the more substantial titles to their homage which
have been established by our contemporaries. They
will do justice, it
.is believed, to the intrepid, the
heroic devotion of our armies, contending against the
warfare of the elements, as well as of fierce and im-
placable enemies, among some of the most inhos-
pitable regions of the globe—and yet marching on
against all discouragements and incessant obstacles
from victory to victory. They will appreciate the
moderation with which the representatives of our
SOVEREIGN, the Governors of Colonies and Presi-
dencies and Provinces, and the commanders of her
fleets and forces have, almost invariably, availed them-
selves of success. They will honour the steadiness of
purpose, the enlightened humanity, and the generally
upright policy, wherewith the power of command,
the rights of conquest, and the empire of the law,
have been exercised. But their most coriial appro-
bation, their most favourable verdict, will be assuredly
secured for those who shall have rendered themselves
mainly instrumental in drawing closer the bonds of
amity between nation and nation ; in inducing the
more distrustful races in one quarter of the world to
enter into friendly relations with the more powerful
and influential States in another; in breaking through
the traditions, prejudices, and conventional observances
that had isolated, for many centuries, one great section
of mankind, numbering, perhaps, nearly one-third of
the whole human race, from all their fellows beyond
certain assigned limits ; and in securing the results,
thus arrived at by the genius of a sagacious diplomacy,
seconded by the undaunted valour and energy of the
military and naval forces at his disposal, through the
establishment of commercial relations with that
mighty and swarming people, founded on the fairest
and broadest principles of a reciprocity of advantages
as to each of the contracting parties. Now such,
precisely, are the merits—such, precisely, have been
the effects, of Sir HENRY POTTINGER'S administration
of his most responsible appointment to China. The
honours of a Roman triumph—the splendours of an
Imperial Ovation,:involve less of pure and unchal-
lengeable glory than the final accomplishment of
those honourable and beneficial negotiations with the
most numerously peopled of nations, and the most in-
tractable and bigoted of Governments, that are to un-
seal an extensive and lucrative trade to foreigners,
heretofore jealously excluded, and to open valuable
ports and marts which have been hitherto shut against
the Christian world, for the interchange of the com-
modities of the most remote regions with those of
China, and its islands and dependencies. The attain-
ment of ends like these carries with it the extension
of comforts and luxuries—of the means of improving
physical health and extending social enjoyment, to
unnumbered semi-barbarian tribes and individuals, as
well as to more fortunately conditioned classes, who
will rise, as it were, in the scale of existence, by
becoming habituated to their use. It reacts, on the
other hand, upon us, their (in some sort) new com-
patriots and allies, by multiplying the markets for
our commercial enterprise, and developing the re-
sources of our industrial energy at home.
Thus highly estimating the invaluable services
which Sir HENRY POTTINGER has been the fortunate
instrument of perfecting, in the unflinching discharge
of his high duties to his country and to his SOVEREIGN,
we are not surprised at the enthusiastic reception
with which he has been greeted at Bombay. Thus
far, indeed, throughout his whole homeward course
his grateful countrymen, and his native fellow-sub-
jects of India, have expressed their respect for him in
terms burning with all the eloquence of grateful ad-
miration. Cold, indeed, must be the heart which does
not thrill in the perusal of the address delivered, with
a sumptuous present, to his Excellency, or the touch-
ing answer in which he responded to the generous ex-
pressions of confidence and regard comprised in that
address. But still more impressive, if we mistake not,
will be deemed the speech of Dr. BURNES, 'v►ho at a
dinner given to Sir Heusi by a military club of
which he had been elected a member, favoured his
hearers with a highly graphic and interesting sketch
of the personal human and appearanee of Eh Rum

in the efirlier years of his Indian career—his life of
incessan t peril and wild adventure, which he had led,
when 'disguised as a native horse-dealer, and in the
execuf ion of a mission under instructions from the
Ron. Company's Government, he had penetrated
aim; ,t from the eastern to the western extremities of
Asia, from Bengal to Cutch, from Cutch to the Can-
caslas, among wandering hordes, who were robbers by
prcifession. through remote and savage countries, un-
trodden by European foot since the days of ALEX-
AN DER, amidst nations the most jealous in the world
of a foreign, but more especially of a Christian,
intruder, and with the conviction ever present to his
vain& that the penalty of a cruel death would ensue
upon, the detection of his disguise. Dr. BURN/IS had
particularly illustrated, by many agreeable remi-
nisoonces, the undaunted interference and the in-
don sitable activity of the "young POTTINGER," COM-,
bincw.l with his singular good-nature, his festive
talents, his happy art of attaching all who partici-
pated in his society, whether in cantonment, on
march, in residence, " up the country," in camp or
bungalow ; and after a rapid, but brilliant, contrast
of the splendour of his more recent achievements
and fortunes, as compared with these wayfaring pas-
sages of former years, proposed his health and
"continued glory," in terms of the most manly and
'affectionate, yet respectful, friendship. The great
diplomatist, almost overpowered with emotion, re-
turned his acknowledgments with singular good
baste and profound feeling ; but the genuine incident
of Sir HENRY'S responding at once to the call of
some hilarious comrade of " auld lang syne" for "a
song "—by giving one—did infinite honour to the
convivial kindliness of the whole club—to the ex-
cited comrade, and to the excellent Plenipotentiary.
The utter absence of all self-glorification at such a
moment—the unstudied promptitude with which, at
the well-remembered voice of an early friend, the
High Commissioner of her MAJESTY could thus put
off the pomp and prestige of his present state, and, in
the abandon of a moment, which neither the lapse of
after years, nor the increase of subsequent honours,
may bring to him again, realised, as it were, a sunny
vision of the past, such as Dr. BURNES had just
before been describing, in obeying the " festal
call ;"—this simple fact supplies to our mind an addi-
tional evidence of that simplicity of mind, that
singleness of heart, that sterling frankness which
must have been essential and guiding principles of
the wonderful career, and winning deportment, of
this extraordinary man. It is gratifying to find from
his own declaration that, on returning to Europe, he
does not retire from the public service of his country.
How could she excuse the retreat from that service
of one who has acquired for it so much benefit—for
himself so much honour—with the public (as with
the individuals who have enjoyed his friendship) so
much popularity ?

The 111-arid Gazette of the 26th ult. publishes a
list of the senators chosen by the Crown from among
those returned to the Upper Chamber. Among the
number are the Marquis DE Pim& FLORIDA and M.
RUEZ DE LA. VEGA, for Madrid ; D. MANUEL DE
SORIA, for Badajos ; the Archbishop of TOLEDO, for
Oviedo; the Duke DE CASTRO TERRE/10, for Zamora;
and D. RAMOS ORTEGA and Count SABRADIEL, for
Saragossa. They all belong to the Moderado party.
According to the Herald() the Progresistas are not
idle. " The revolutionary party," it says, " are
incorrigible. We had thought that the tremendous
lesson given to them at Saragossa and Ali-
cante would suffice ; but our own letters from
Barcelona, Albacete, Valencia, and other parts,
as well as those of our foreign correspondents, prove
that they are still plotting, and continually labouring
to kindle fresh disturbances, with the view of prevent-
ing the meeting of the approaching Con es. To alarm
the credulous people by spreading absurd rumours as
to a marriage between her MAJESTY and a son of
Don CARLOS—Absolutist schemes—the return to
Spain of CABRERA and Paur.Los and the restitution
of national property, and to endeavour to shake the
army's allegiance by promising a distribution of land
to the soldiers and promotion to the officers—such are
the principal means resorted to by the revolutionists."
The Three per Cents. were done at 28i at 60 days;
the Five per Cents. at 204 for cash, and 21 7-16, at
60 days ; the floating debt at 66k, for the 10th of No-
vember; and the debt without interest at 6 1-16 for
evil, and 64- at 60 days.

The sudden and apparently unexpected return of
the Prince DE JorsvILLE to Paris on Tuesday delayed
for a day the departure of the KING and Royal Family
for the Chateau d'Eu. His MAJESTY, however, ac-
cording to the official journals, was to leave the capital
on Thursday, accompanied by the QUEEN, Madame
ADELAIDE, and the Duke DE MONTPENSIER ; he will
leave Eu for Portsmouth on the night of the 6th inst.,
accompanied by the Duke DE MONTPENSIER. The
Lieutenants-General Baron ATHALIN and Count DE
RUAIIGNT, the Colonels Count DUMAS and the Count
DE CHAEAUNIS, the KING'S Aides-de-Camps, are to
attend his MAJESTY, together with Colonel TIIIERRT,
Aide-de-Camp to his Royal Highness the Duke Di
MONTPENSIER ; the Baron FAIN, First Secretary of
the Cabinet ; M. FOUQUIEN, first physician ; and M.
PASQUIER, junior, the KING'S surgeon. M. GUIZOT
and Admiral MACNAU will proceed on Sunday next
to join his MAJESTY at the Chateau d'Eu, previous to
his departure for England, where they will accom-
pany his MAJESTY. During the KING'S absence the
Ministers will assemble under the presidency of Mar-
shal SOULT. His Royal Highness the Duke DE Nit-
moults will assist at the Cabinet Councils. The
Quiszx and Madame ADELAIDE will remain at Eu
during the KING'S absence, which, it is said, will ex-
tend to a period of fifteen days. M. GUIZOT and
Baron MACKAU were to leave for Eu on Friday. The
Journal des DebatB states that the official letter, in-
forming the Prince DE JOINTILLE that a grand re-
ception was being prepared for him at Toulon, having
been forwarded from Paris on the 14th, only reached
Cadiz on the 24th, two days after the departure of

the Prince.
The refusal of the Prince to honour Toulon with
his presence has caused great disappointment and
even dissatisfaction, as will be seen by the following
extract from the Toulonnais

" On Thursday last our town was the victim of a great
mystification. At eleven o'clock in the forenoon, the
watchman on Cape :spat signalled the ship of war, the
Suffren towed by the Montezuma steamer, and bearing
the flag of the Royal Admiral. Immediately after so
positive a signal, the maritime Prefect, with praiseworthy
anxiety, hastened to give the official announcement
of the much-longed-for arrival of his Royal Highness
the Prince do Joinville. Crowds of people made their
way immediately to the heights of the great town, and
to Fort Lamalque, both of which were soon crowded
with spectators, whilst the weak, the lazy, and those
who do not choose to purchase pleasure, however great,
with great fatigue, took boats, and took up their posi-
tion in the roads. The telegraph carried the news to a
distance, and General d'Hautpoul arrived post from
Marseilles. The military, civil, and judiciary authorities
prepared to pay their respects to the Prince Admiral.
The troops wore drawn up as a guard in the streets where
the royal traveller was to pass, the quays were crowded,
the windows looking on the harbour were filled with
ladies dressed in their best, and whose appearance.
added gaity and beauty to the scene. It was a veritable
parterre de fleurs. The roads were crowded with boats
without number. The municipal council, the mayor and
his adjuncts, the officers of the National Guard, were at the
Hotel de Ville, ready to receive the conqueror of Tan-
giers and Mogadore. Every one was happy ; our city
was all joy and life. At half-past two the Terrare
steamer, having Admiral Baudin, the Prefect of the
Marine, on board, left the Arsenal to meet the Prince.
At the same instant the ships of war exchanged signals, and
prepared for the reception. The cannomers were ready
at their guns, with lighted matches, and only waited
the signal to fire—when, oh, fatality of fatalities !
bitter deception ! the Suffren, as signalled, indeed ar-
rives, but there is no Prince ! The Abbe Coquereau,
the chaplain of the Morocco squadron, who came by the
Suffren, announced, as we are assured, that the Prince
of Joinville was indisposed, and was to leave Cadiz for
Havre by the Pluton, and that his Royal Highness did
not leave his ship until the moment when she was about
to sail. We respect the motives of this determination,
but we are the echoes of the whole inhabitants in re-
gretting sincerely that our town should have been de-
prived at this memorable period of the visit of the
Prince of Joinville. On the assurance that he would
have disembarked at our port, fetes, public rejoicings,
a ball, and a triumphal arch worthy of the hero, all
were ready ; every one was at his post anxious to join in
a reception equally brilliant and cordial. The hour of
pleasure had sounded for us, but there being no Prince
all pleasure had vanished. The town will be put to the
expense—a heavy one--ef the preparations. Admiral
Baudin, who had previously sent out the invitations for
the dinner which he proposed to give in the evening to
the Prince, got together al his table the captains of the
ships at anchor in the roads, the different court and mili-
tary authorities, while the deceived and disappointed
people cry out, The deuce take the watchman of Cape
"
- -

The Monittur Algirien, of the 25th ult., thus con-
tradicts the reports of the return of ABD•BIeKADER
to the Algerine territory :
" A jour, on the authority of its Algiers corre-

spondent, announced that Abd-el-Kader had re-appeared
in the Desert, and was at Ain Madhi. No fact justified
such a statement. It will soon be a year since Abd-el-
Kader, expelled from Algeria, had sought refuge in the
territory of Morocco, which he left only once, to effect
a razzia on the side of Saida. He remained ever since
close to the frontier, and when the war with Morocco
broke out, our troops operating in the west compelled
him to retire into the interior. His small force con-
sisted of 150 efficient horsemen, thirty horses without
riders, and 400 badly armed and equipped foot soldiers.
His family and suite constituted an assemblage of about
two thousand persons of all ages and sexes. After the
battle of Isly, our troops having advanced to the
Oued Zekerra, and sent out reconnoitring parties
as far as Aioun-Sidi-Mellouk, Abd-el-Kader crossed
the Mallonia, and proceeded down that river to
the mountains of Garet, thirty leagues from our
frontier. Most of the individuals who accompanied
him were attackel with fever. Their sanatory condi-
tion was such that they could neither fight nor fly. The
Emperor of Morocco might have accordingly arrested
Abd-el-K.ader and his followers without the least diffi-
culty. At any period he could have done so, if he
pleased, for Abd-el-Kaier was often encamped within
a mile of the Moorish head-quarters. It is not true that
Abd-el-Kader was the leader of the revolters of Mo-
rocco ; the latter are in the west of the empire, and
Abd-el-Kader has taken up his quarters on the territory
of an eastern tribe which has given him hospitality. He
possesses no serious party in the adjoining country.
The Beni Senassens, the most powerful tribe in that
quarter, refused to afford him any armed assistance.
They have received him as a Marabout returning from
the sacred war, which they are determined not to renew
on his account. We pledge ourselves for the accuracy of
the above details, which are dated the 20th of Septem-
ber. We soon expect other facts from the same authen-
tic source. We shall confine ourselves to observe at pre-
sent that Ain Madhi, where Abd-el-Kader was reported
to have appeared, is 150 leagues distant from the point
where he has resided during the last six weeks."

A letter from Tangiers, dated the 19th ult-, which
appears in the Journal des Debats says :—" At pre-
sent a fugitive and without partisans, ABD-111...KADBR
expiates his ridiculous pretensions and the intrigues
which he has excited against us in the country. It is
not known here where he is at present. After the
battle of Isly he proceeded in the direction of
Melilla on the northern coast, to a powerful and fa-
natical tribe. Since then it is said that he has gone
towards the south of the empire. The Pacha of
LARACMB declares • that, being pursued by the Eht-
PBROR7II black guards, he has taken refuge in the
desert." The following is the latest grievance dis-
covered by the National 4.
" Some years since enormous sums were voted by the
Chambers for the construction of Transatlantic steam-
boats. These boats are built, and are suffered to remain
unarmed in the ports of Rochefort, L'Orient, Brest,
Cherbourg, Toulon, and Judret. There were fourteen
of 450-horse power ; but the Groenland having been lost,
there remains but thirteen—viz., the Albatros, the
Cacique, the Canada, the Caraibe, the Christophe Co-
lomb, the Darien, the Eldorado, the Labrador, the Ma-
gellan, the Montezuma, the Oronoque, the Panama, and
the Ulloa. Four others are of 220. horse power—the
Caiman, the Elau, the Espadon, and the Phoque. The
steam-boats of 450-horse power are pierced for four guns
and two swivels, the others carry two guns and two
swivels. It may be said, that since 1830 a malevolent
genius has laboured to exhaust our resources and pre-
vent us from possessing an army or a navy."

FLANDERS MAIL.

RUMOURED MARRIAGE OF PRINCE GEORGE
OF CAMBRIDGE AND THE ARCHDUCHESS
OLGA OF RUSSIA.

RUSSIAN FRONTIER, SEPT. 21.—The report which
has been for some time past in circulation of a marriage
of the Grand Duchess Olga to Prince George of Cam.
bridge has of late become so decided that I think it
ought not any longer to be passed over in silence. It is
considered as one of the results of the visit of the Em-
peror of Russia to London, and as the commencement of
a more intimate alliance between Russia and England.
As the Crown Prince of Hanover has no children the
Duke of Cambridge is the presumptive heir to the throne
of Hanover. Meantime the preliminary position of the
parties is said to be perfectly arranged. Count Nessel-
rode will return by way of Hanover, where he will have
an interview with Baron Meyondorff.
BRUSSELS, OCT I.—The average price of wheat :last
week was 19f., and that of rye, 10f. 48c. per hectolitre.
The importation remains at 37f. 50c. and 21f. 50c. respec-
tively per 1,000 kilogrammes, and the export duty at 28
centimes on both wheat and rye.
The Belgian sloop Ceres has just arrived at Ostend
from London, with a cargo of guano.
Yesterday the beautiful steamer the British Queen,
belonging to the „Belgian Government, was sold at Ant-
werp by public auction. It was sold to M.Vande Leem-
put for 170,500 francs, and the expenses for the vessel
and its inventory. Tho furniture of the steamer will be
sold shortly.
In consequence of the disorders which lately took
place at Verniers, the members of those families which
were particularly exposed to insult on that occasion ap-
pear to have resolved to withdraw entirely from public
life. Thus, Viscount Brollery has resigned the post of
President of the Harmony Society, Mr. Adolphus Simonis
quits the Society of Vocal Music and the Florticultural
Society, of which he had been President from their first
institution, and Mr. Iwan Brolley has retires from the
Chamber of Commerce.
Many reports have been circulated of a supposed in-
tention of the King of the French to come to Belgium
after his visit to the Queen of England, and some persons
even pretend to know that he will not come to Brassels.
All these reports are without foundation.

CITY of LONDON REGISTRATION.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before S. J. ARNOLD, Esq.)
The REVISING BARRISTER, on his taking his seat this
morning, ga►e judgment in several cases, with respect to
which he had reserved his decision.
The revision of the lists of voters for the following
parishes was then proceeded with, but no cases of inte-
rest occurred up to the time we went to press, via., St.
Botolph and St. Bride, St. Dunstan-in-the-West, the
precincts of Bridewell and Whitefriars, All Hallows, St.
Edmund the King, St. Gabriel (Fenchuroh-street), St.
Mary Woolnoth, St. Nicholas, Sco.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
A man named John Godfrey, who stated that he was a
carpenter, was brought before Mr. Jardine, charged with
attempting to commit suicide, by jumping from Water•
100-bridge.
The police-officer, who took the prisoner into custody,
stated that he was on duty last night on Waterloo-
bridge when he saw the prisoner shaking hands with
another man, and as witness passed them he heard the
prisoner say " Good bye, God bless you ; give my best
respects to all at home, for they will never see me again."
He then left his friend, and the witness followed him.
He mounted one of the parapets of the bridge, and was
just in the act of jumping off when the witness seized him
by the coat-tail, and dragged him back. He was quite
drunk. . _ - -

The prisoner, in his defence, said he was quite drunk
at the time, and he did not recollect anything of the cir-
cumstance.

A person in court here stepped forward, and said he
had known the prisoner twenty years. He was usually
a steady man.
Mr. JARDINE asked this person if he had any objec-
tion to become bail for the prisoner ? The man shook
his head.
Mr. J.inDsNis said the prisoner must find bail, for he
was evidently unable to take care of himself. He was
then removed.
A woman, named Jane Rueseg was remanded on a
charge of stealing the clothes of the Strand Union work-
house.

She had been an inmate of the workhouse, but left
without leave on Tuesday last. She came to the re-
lieving-officer last night in a state of intoxication, and
asked for a night's lodging. It was then discovered that
she had not got the clothes in which she left the work-
house, She.admitted having sold them.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
George Marks, a painter, and formerly a member of
the Islington Temperance Hall, in South-street, was
charged with violently assaulting several members of
that body, and police-constable Harris, 112 N.
It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Joyce, the
Chairman, who resides at 27, Cliff-street, Islington,
and of other members, that on the previous
night between nine and ten o'clock, there was a
meeting of the Committee,v% hen the prisoner came to the
foot of the stairs, and after committing the gossest possi-
ble insult went into the Committee-room, and by his
notorious behaviour prevented the proceedings from
going forward. The Chairman desired him to leave, but
he became more violent. Harris was sent for, and when
he attempted to remove the prisoner, he kicked him
violently on the legs. At the top of the stairs the chair-
man attempted to assist the constable, but the prisoner
kicked him so severely that he still felt great pain from
the injuries received. A reinforcement of constables
came, but such was the prisoner's violence that
it required their combined exertions and several of
the members as well to convey the prisoner to the
station-house. On the way thither he assaulted
almost every one who accompanied him. In some hours
after he was admitted to bail, and he was hardly re-
leased when the windows of the Temperance-hall were
broken.

The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, said
he had infested a considerable sum of money in the
Hall,, but left them about a year ago ; he went there
last night for the purpose of getting back his money.
Instead of carrying out the objects of temperance, they
were playing cards in the Hall until three o'clock in th•
morning, and this was their habit.

The Chairman said the prisoner had repeatedly been
guilty of similar conduct.

COMBE committed the prisoner, in default of pay-
ment of fine, to the House of Correction, for three weeks.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
Ann Cole was charged with stealing from the person
of Susannah Jamis, a servant out of place, a purse, con-
taining two sovereigns and seventeen shillings, in silver.
The prosecutrix being out on business, accidentally fell
in company with the prisoner, and while partaking of
some refreshment, she felt her hand in the pocket where
the purse was, but at that moment it did not occur to
her that any thing wrong was intended. However,
nearly instantly after the prisoner had left her she missed
the purse. The prisoner was apprehended about ten
o'clock at night at her lodgings, beastly drunk, but no
money was found about her.—Remanded.

NION-HALL.-(THIS DAY.)
Thomas Smith. John Humphries, and Edward Carroll,
were charged with committing a very daring highway
robbery.

It appeared that as a Mr. Bark was proceeding home
about eight o'clock on Saturday night se'nnight, in
walking along the Kent-road he was accosted by Smith,
who pressed his conversation and continued to walk by
his side. When they got to the dead wall of a mad-
house in New-street three men came along, one of whom
placed a ,stick between complainant's legs and
tripped him up, and he fell heavily, strik-
ing his head against the kerb-stone. While
he was down his pockets were turned inside out, and
when he camel() his senses he found that his head was
cut, and that he had been robbed of his watch.
A little boy, who had witnessed the outrage, said
that he saw one of the men trip up the complainant, and
that while he was lying on the ground, he saw them all
rifling his pockets, . and afterwards saw them running
away ; that Smith was engaged in the transaction as
well as the others.

A material witness being absent, the prisoners were
remanded.

Late advices, both by direct arrivals and per Over-
land Mail, have been received from Australia, and like
those recently come to hand, they indicated rather a
better state of things. From South Australia they
write :—" It gives us much pleasure to hear that a part
of the Rivoli Bay country is at last about to be occupied
from the South Australian side. The first party, con-
sisting of Messrs. Leake and Scott, with about 10,000
sheep, and upwards of twenty men, have started for
that country, and, we presume, many others will
soon follow. Messrs. Hallett have also secured
extensive runs at Mount Bryan, and intend im-
mediately to send their sheep, consisting of seve-
ral thousanth, to that district. Mount Bryan is about
100 miles from Messrs. Hallet's present station, and 140
miles from town. At one time these gentlemen thought
that no one would go beyond their present runs at the
Wiltshire survey for many years ; at this moment, how-
ever, probably the greater part of the sheep in the co-
lony are beyond that limit. It is evident that the sheep
are increasing beyond all calculation, and it is to be
hoped that the anticipations of an extensive country on
the eastern boundary may be fully realised. Messrs. C.
Campbell and Ellis recently explored a part of the coun-
try to the west of Port Lincoln, but we have heard no
authentic report of the result of their visit—we trust it is
favourable."
From the Cape of Good Hope, under date of July 28,
we learn that the Caffres continued their thefts and out-
rages ; and that the inhabitants were kept in constant
alarm, although no general irruption was anticipated,
The value of property, owing to the increase of the popu-
lation, was gradually rising.
The circular of Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewesbury,
now before us, states that merchandise is unaffected by
the low rate of interest on money, though the capital
embarked in new railways must benefit the manufac-
turers., There is a good home trade doing.

forilke opening, so that the market value of that security
is about 1021 to 104. The Commissioners have given
1001 for their parcel of Consols, and for time the rates
have again advanced to 1001 j. Exchequer Bills are
steady, at 745. to 765. premium. Nothing has been
done in Bank or India Stocks, and the market looks
very quiet.
The Foreign Investments are also very inactive.
Dutch Bonds have been very firm ; the Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. at 621 to 621, and the Five per Cents. at
981 to 98. The conversion plans seem to be favourably
construed. Spanish Active Bonds are 241, and the

49. Mexican are 35k, and Colombian 141. Brazil
Stock is 87f.
For Railway Shares, there is a fair market generally,
and where holders yield a little, sales are not difficult to
effect. The French lines are looking up. Joint-stock
Banks and Mines continue dull.
