WI DON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1844.

The Episcopal Free'ehurch, which of late has ex-
cited so much attention in the West of England, was
openiid on Friday morning at Exeter by the Rev,
H. B. BULTEEL who, it appears, is a gentleman well-
known in Devonshire, being first cousin to the late
Member for the Southern Division of that county.
In stating his reasons for consenting to open a place
of worship for the use—we quote his own words—
" of such persons as saw fit, from motives of con-
science, to free themselves from the communion of the
Church by law established," the preacher mentioned,
as one of the principal motives that induced him to
separate himself from the Establishment, the com-
plete state of bondage t? which her members, and
especially her ministers, were reduced—a state so
much unlike that of the primitive Church, as to ren-
der it impossible that both Churches could derive
their constitution from the same original. The inde-
pendence and liberty of the Church of England were,
he insisted, nothing thore than a name—a shadow.
She herself could do nothing. It was the SOVEREIGN
who did everything. To him belonged the supre-
macy in all matters whatever. Doctrine—discipline
—all alike were subject to him, and nothing was safe
from his touch, except the preaching of the Word and

r the administration of the Sacraments. Another of the
Rev. Gentleman's grievances was the acknowledged
inability of the Church to alter one word of the Book
of Common Prayer. " The minister," he said, " had
frequently to declare with his lips what in his heart
he disbelieved—the beautiful service, fitted only for
those who die in the LORD, was prostituted day by
day to the ungodly and the profane." Mr. BULTEEL
then proceeded to point out the dilemma in which a
clergyman was placed, " in:consigning to Heaven one
whom the language of Scripture would assign to a
a very different destination ; or else he must pacify
his conscience by leaving out a portion of the service,
for doing which neither the State nor the Church
gave him authority." We can by no means acquiesce
in the justice of this complaint of the Rev. Gentle-
man, for, to our thinking, it savours not a little of
bigotry. There is nothing of Christian benevolence
or humility about it—nothing of that Divine spirit
of charity which our SAVIOUR declared to be among
the greatest of the virtues which he inculcated in his
Sermon on the Mount, and which he took every
opportunity of impressing on his Disciples. Why
should the funeral service, which is so truly and
touchingly catholic in its character, be read only
over those who—to use Mr. BULTEEL'S somewhat
vague expression—" die in the Lord ?" We are all
sinners, even the best of us ; and one of the chief
redeeming excellencies of the Church is the readiness
with which she offers up her prayers and her interces-
sion above the ashes of those whose lives may not have
been altogether as immaculate as could • have been
wished. But the Rev. Gentleman strenuously protests
against this compassionate and mediating spirit on the
part of the Establishment. He would have her with-
hold her charity from the poor handful of dust and
ashes which she is called on to consign to the tomb ;
and objects to her that she will not carry her displea-
sure beyond the grave into the awful presence of the
Eternal 1 We trust the day is far distant when intole-
rant doctrines like these shall prevail among the religious
community ; and fervently hope that our Established
Church, which has—or should have—its foundation
in charity, will ever continue to intercede with Heaven
for the souls of even the most erring of her flock, and
consign their ashes to the grave with the expression of
a " meek and reverent hope that their sins may be
forgiven them." We have infinitely more sympathy
with Mr. BULTEEL'S complaint that the humbler or-
ders of the clergy are left at the " arbitrary will of
their superiors," without the power to help themselves ;
and would gladly see a reform effected in this respect,
and the despotic—and in a great degree, irresponsible
—authority of the Bishops reduced within just and be-
coming limits. In the course of this sermon, which is
as remarkable for its boldness as its eloquence, the
Rev. Gentleman indulged in the following stinging
comments on Doctor PHILLPOTTS'S ecclesiastical ca-
reer :—" His zeal has prompted him to run to the
extent of what the law allows him ; and in the per-
formance of his episcopal functions, he has the merit
of having deprived more clergymen of their licenses,
and of having pronounced more ecclesiastical cen-
sures, than perhaps all the other Bishops together."
Doctor PHILLPOTTS is, indeed, the model of a stiff-
necked Prelate, such as LAUD was. He rules his dio-
cese as NAPOLEON ruled France, with an iron hand,
allowing neither freedom of thought nor action among
his clerical subordinates ; and possesses every aposto-.
Heal recommendation except meekness, charity, and
toleration of nature.

The important benefit which Captain BuLLocx,
R.N., has, for the second time, conferred on the in-1
terest of the Channel navigation, by re-erecting on
the " treacherous Goodwins" a beacon and a refuge,
for the double purpose of warning vessels of the
dangerous vicinity they are approaching, and of
affording a temporary refuge to the unfortunate
mariners whose devoted vessels may have perished on
those fatal sands, we are happy to find becoming
duly appreciated. A nobler object was never achieved
with more intense constancy of purpose, under almost
every species of discouragement; and few more effec-
tive services, by the aid of very limited means, have
ever been rendered to humanity at large. The day
will come, we may now trust, when this " infamous
locality "—the theatre of so many disastrous ship-
wrecks, the grave of so many gallant hearts, the de-
struction of so many brave vessels, although it will
still be in the direct track, as it were, of the trade
of the Port of London with all the world, will be as
readily and easily avoided, by night as well as by
day, as the surge-lashed rocks that sustain the
Eddystone or the Whitehaven lights. But we are
reminded by this prompt and happy remedy of the
destruction of its predecessor—occasioned by some
foreign merchant craft coming in collision with it—
that the application of Captain BULLOCK'S ingenious
principle, as developed in the foundation of his
beacon on a quicksand is likely to be carried out in
fortifications, to be erected in the immediate vicinity
of this beacon, and at many other analogous stations
along the coast, for the purposes both of defence and
of offence. Our readers cannot have forgotten the
important evidence incidentally given by his Grace
the Duke of WELLINGTON in his examination before
the Committee of the House of Commons on Har-
bours of Refuge. His Grace demonstrated that, in
the present dofenceless state of our coasts—of those
more particularly at the south-eastern extremity of
England—it would be possible, at any time, for the
French (having that advantage of geographical posi-
tion which places them, in relation to ourselves,
" with the sun at their backs") to see, from their
heights on the coasts of Picardy or Normandy, al-
, most every vessel which entered or quitted the mouth
of the Thames ; and that French steamers, by running
down on these merchantmen, might, if unopposed by
certain precautionary measures, most seriously injure
land cripple the whole trade of the Port of London. It
was after this evidence had been given that the Prince
DE JOINVILLE published his celebrated pamphlet. We
are far from arguing that "post hoc, ergo proptes
hoc :" but still there are some remarkable coincidences
between these sagacious forecastings of his Grace
and the preliminary hypothesis assumed by his Royal
Highness the French Prince, in order to found the
plan of hostile operations against England which he
conditionally advocates. For it is but fair to remark
that the Prince is wronged by those who do not keep
this fact in sight. He can, with no show of reason
or candour, be said to have instigated the state of
things to which his hypothesis applies. " Given," he
says, "certain conditions of facts, as—the outbreak
of a war between France and Great Britain ;—then
the course of action it would be proper for the former
to adopt would be what I am about to describe." The
Prince, at the outset, admits that not only could not
the French naval force for a long time hope to com-
pete with that of England, without signal discomfi-
ture, but that, if it engage in the contest at all, it
must do so at the inevitable price of severe defeats at
the commencement, and of exciting on our own people
the most enormous and instantaneous efforts for the
organisation of a force of still more overwhelming
disproportion, as to the marine of France, than that
which at present exists. But he is of opinion that
armed French steamers, well manned and worked,
and carrying detachments of troops on board, might
wage a species of privateering warfare on our com-
merce, of which the mischief and annoyance would
be ultimately its destruction. Now this notion, we
have no doubt, is a well-founded one. The theory on
which it proceeds omits only the important element*
of countervailing forces. If France, with her infant
steam-marine, so small in its numerical, so inferior in
its material, force—could make a very serious impres-
sion on the commerce, vex the coasts and harass the
outports of England ; what would be the annihilation
which England, with a war-steamer navy so vast,
and of armament so terrible, as that which sails under
the QUEEN'S commission, would pour over the coast-
ing and foreign trade of France, and launch against
her ports and arsenals ? By a recent survey of the
Commission appointed by our Government, to report
on the tonnage, equipment, and capacity of adaptation
to the character of war-steamers, of the steam-boats
belonging to some few of our own ports having the
largest home and carrying trade, it was found, a few
weeks ago, only, that of between 100 and 200 such
steamers not less than 67 could be immediately con-
verted into steam-frigates and war-steamers of various
ratings, and the most complete and powerful arma-
ment; and that of the remainder, the larger propor-
tion of those employed as tugs in the towage in and
out of harbour of merchantmen, might with equal
facility be rendered most formidable gun-boats. We
feel, therefore, as little apprehension about the scheme
of the Prince DE JOINVILLE, and attribute to it as-
little efficiency as—we are convinced he himself
does. But we shall not cease, with the most earnest

solicitude, to press upon the Government the fact,
that not a day ought to be lost in carrying out the.
plan of defending our coasts, in conformity with the
recommendation of the Duke of WELLINGTON, and
otherthe highest authorities.
The ingenious project to which we have so often
had occasion to recur, of erecting forts, or log-
houses, with even barraclas attached, on screw-pile
iron foundations, seems to be now adjudged quite
feasible. We trust to see it carried into immediate
execution. If any still doubt of the possibility of
constructing them, as it is proposed to do, on such
dangerous points as the Goodwin Sands themselves,
or other coasts adjacent to estuaries, like that of the
Thames; by forcing the metal piles through the sands
till they become embedded in the stratum beneath it,
the successful experiment of Captain BULLOCK on
these very Goodwins, by throwing down chalk ballast
till the mass has found a bearing base, and so conso-
lidated itself as to bear perfectly well being worked
upon, at is surface above the level of the sea, this
experiment ought to satisfy any such misgivings
on their part. It tends to prove that the mass depo-
sited has subsided down to the firm stratum ; and thus,
the ultimate results of an experiment dictated by an
active humanity, intent on the rescue of a few ship-
wrecked mariners, bids fair to determine on the
acquisition of a site for one of those coast defences,
the deficiency of which has long been one of the most
signal and natural disadvantages that, in time of war,
we have had to contend with. It is because we want
to postpone to the most distant day possible—if we
may not wholly avert—the calamity of a war be-
tween the two greatest nations of Europe, that we
would recommend the accomplishment of truly na-
tional works like these in a time of peace.

Lord ELLINBOROUGH on taking leave of the Indian
army, for his speech was addressed to the troops, has
put forth-another song of triumph, but his Lordship
is more fortunate in this instance than in his previous
proclamations, those especially respecting the policy
of his predecessor and the celebrated gates of Som-
nauth. His speech is founded on matters of fact
which not even the bitterest enemy of the Noble
Lord can dispute. In adverting to the events
which had occurred during his short reign in
the East, he said, " Let it not be supposed
that the glories so obtained are barren glories, ob-
tained only at a great public cost, and productive of
no benefit to the people. In India the continued re-
putation of our arms is an indispensable condition of
our existence ; and if at this moment the revenue,
and the commerce of this country, and the condition
of the people, be, as they are, changed indeed from
the state in which I found them, to a state of unex-
ampled prosperity, it is to the peace dictated by our
arms to China under the walls of Nankin ; it is to
the general sense that our rule, which has been re-
established by two years of victories without a single
check, that this unexampled prosperity is to be
directly traced."
In the-whole history of India, remarkable as it is, such
important results never were obtained within the same
period. 'Peace has been established with all the en-
croaching and restless tribes in the west ; Sinde has
been occupied, and is now as peaceful as Bengal ;
fevers and agues have disappeared ; the troops, even ac-
cording to. "the showing of the journals hostile to the
late GOVERNOR-GENERAL are healthy ; the people are
contented; and commerce and traffic are in full opera-
tion along the Indus, for a distance of at least fifteen
hundred miles. The disturbances in Gwalior, which
threatened- serious consequences to our possessions in
Central India, have been put down with a trifling
loss of life, and without any expense to the India
Company. The whole of the vast possessions held
by the English enjoy the most profound peace ; the
revenue is gradually on the increase ; the commerce
of the country, and consequently the condition of
the people have improved, and it may be said that
India at the present moment is in a more prosperous
and safe state than at any former period.
The Governors of the India House know
best why Lord ELLENBOEOUGII is recalled.
To us now, as at the first announcement
of their resolution, his recal is an utter mystery ;
but his Lordship has one consolation. Never did
any Pro-consul, to whom even a triumph was decreed,
return to ancient Rome with more honour than this de-
graded, yet victorious ruler of India returns to his na-
tive country. Time however, nay, Lord ELLENBOROUGH,
himself will clear up the mystery and in the mean
time the English people will suspend their judgment
on what appears to the uninitiated an ungrateful re-
turn for important services.

The intelligence from India, which we have pub-
lished at length, is not of a striking character; but
on that account it is only the more favourable. We
want no increase to our territory—no more victories
The wish of the Government is to remain at peace
with the neighliouring States, and the latest com-
munications show that their wish is gratified. The
news from China, especially Canton, is not so
favourable.. The Americans, we regret to learn, have
embroiled themselves with the inhabitants, and alarm-
ing disturbances had taken place. We sincerely
hope that
,the American authorities were not the
aggressors," and that they have not encouraged
this collision with a view to get better commercial
terms thin those granted by the general treaty agreed
to by England and China.

The Madrid Gazette of the 24th ult. announces
the re-establishment of peace between Spain and Mo-
rocco, and the funds rose considerably in consequence.
We have already given the principal articles of the
treaty. These journals contain no news of public
interest. One of the robbers, who lately stopped and
robbed the mail near Valdepinas, has been arrested,
and a part of the stolen property recovered. The
Rue di A Icala'was last evening thrown into some alarm
by loud reports being heard. It was found to pro-
ceed from two petards having been wantonly fired off
by a young man, who was immediately arrested and
taken to prison.
The Three per Cents. closed at 281 cash, and 281
at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 211 cash., and
211 at 60 days.

The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with a de-
scription of the grand review which took place in the
Carrousal, on Sunday ; but we find few details of
the slightest interest to add to those which we pub.
lished yesterday. Marshal SOULT presented the
colours taken at Isly to the KING, and said—" Sire,
I present to your MAJESTY the colours taken at the
battle of Isly by the French army, and at Mogadore
by the Prince DE JOINVILLE. I entreat your MA-
JESTY to receive them, and to permit them to be
placed in the nave of the Chapel of the Invalides !"
The KING replied, with deep emotion, " I accept these
colours, in the name of France." On the arrival of
the trophies at the Invalides, the Commandant and
the whole of his staff were in waiting at the gate on
the side of the esplanade. They headed the proces-
sion to the Cour d'ilonneur, where all the Invalides
were drawn up. The companies of elite were headed
by Lieutenant-General SEBASTIAN!, and amongst the
officers were Colonel EYNARD, the aide-de-camp of
General BUGEAUD, who brought the colours taken on
thel-4th ult. at Isly, and Captain Boyer, who brought
those taken at Mogadore. General SEBASTIAN!, in
accosting General BARON PETIT, the Commandant of
the Invalides, said :
" I come, in the name of the King, to deposit in your
hands the trophies conquered by our brave soldiers of
the army of Africa, and by our intrepid seamen at Tan-
giers, Isly, and Mogadore.'
" General Petit replied:—
" It is with a noble pride that I receive these colours,
which recal: to my memory the most glorious remi-
niscences of our history, and I am delighted to find that
our young soldiers are worthy of their predecessors of
the Grand Army. Yes, France continues to be the
country of heroic legions—of great and sublime acts of
devotedness; it is by a glorious succession of victories
that she has achieved the first place in the history of
nations since Tolbiac and Rocroi, to Jemmappes, We-
gram, Constantine, Isly, and Mogadore, and that place
she will know how to preserve. Soldiers, these trophies
which you bring me shall be placed by the side of those
of Austerlitz, of Jena, and of Friedland; in other words,
by the side-o
.the most glorious trophies of the empire.
Let the memory of those great events be always present
to your minds, and let them remind you of what France
expects from your constancy and valour. Time le .Ro: !
This cry was unanimously repeated several times.
Then thirty-two Invalides advanced towards the detach-
ment charged with the colours, and received them from
the hands of the holders. During this part of the cere-
mony the band of the 62d played military flourishes, and
the drums beat the salute. Generals Petit and Sebas-
tiani placed themselves at the head of the detachment of
Invalides, who were carrying the colours, and after hav-
ing-passed in front of the lines of troops, assembled in
the court of the building, proceeded to the chapel, at the
entrance to which stood the cure and his clergy. The
religious ceremony of blessing Ithe colours then took

place, and lasted half an hour. The general officers
and their staff's were present the whole time.
" As soon as the King had quitted the garden of the
Tuileries yesterday to pass the review of the troops, the
public were admitted to see the tent of the Emperor of
Morocco. The municipal guard kept order, and esta-
blished a queue, which enabled the persons forming it to
pass through the tent in succession."

On this display the Journal des Debats makes the
1 following remarks :—" We have had brighter tri-
umphs, victories more sanguinary and more hotly
disputed, and Paris has beheld many other triumphal
files which this day has but feebly reminded us of.
But what confers, independently of their eclat, an un-
deniable importance on the last victories of our land
and sea armies, is this—our arms have dealt two
grand blows at the very moment when the most irre-
concilable of the opponents of our Government vied
in defying it to adopt an energetic resolution, and
when the least malignant among them affected to be-
lieve in its impotence. The Government of France
has exhibited itself neither fanfaron, as some would
have wished, nor timid, as the others represented it
to be. The deeds of the Generals to whom it had
entrusted the task of defending the honour of France
—those deeds, preceded by such conciliatory prelimi-
naries and executed with so much energetic vigour,
were conformable to the instructions sent from
Paris, and they have not less honoured the policy of
our Government than displayed the brilliant valour of
our soldiers."

The National thus turns the whole affair into
ridicule :

" The Ministry have favoured us to-day with a grand
horse and military performance; but the police managed
matters so that there were rather few spectators to wit-
ness it. They had proclaimed a whole quarter of Paris
in a state of blockade. If you wished to cross the Car
rouse], you meet with municipal guards, who cried,
On ne passe pas!' If you attempted to cross the Pont
des Arts, the Pont des Saints Peres, or Pont Royal, you
were told On ne passe pas !' An on ne passe pas!
stopped you also in the court and gardens of the Tuile-
ries. To communicate with the other bank of the Seine,
you were obliged to travel to the Pont de la Concorde,
or Pont Neuf, and, above all, not to venture along the
quays, unless you liked to come in contact with detach-
ments of town sergeants and horse and foot municipal
guards. Thus has the review passed, without their daring
to summon to it either the National Guard, or a Parisian
crowd. The tenue of the troops was very fine, and a grand
exhibition was made of flags and parasols. The wrecks
of Morocco were afterwards solemnly carried to the Inva-
lides, where the Commandant exclaimed, Put them by
the side of Austerlitz, Jena, and Wagram!' By the
side We should have thought he would have ordered
them a little below ; but not so ; Isly is now put on the
same line as Wagram, so proud we are. How ridicu-
lous all that would be, were it not quite pitiful ! Such
a fuss for having dispersed a confused multitude of bar-
barians, lost 38 men, and captured a parasol
" The flags (adds the same print) which have been
captured from the enemy at the battle of Isly, are 22 in
number, including the guidons, the dimensions of which
do not exceed those of a pocket handkerchief. The
flags are of a very moderate size. Some are white, red,
or blue ; the others variegated, or with flowerings, like
our old chintzes. All are made of coarse materials, such
as cotton, linen, or wool. Several have fringe like our
carpets. The flags and guidons have been fastened to
new poles. The ever famous parasol has alone retained
possession of its African handle. These articles have
undergone a cleaning, which has been deemed quite ne-
cessary to prevent their looking like regular old rags.
The tent of Abderrhaman's son is already pitched
over the grand basin of the Tuileries. Many people
have been to see that tent, which is of grey cloth, and
resembles all other tents, and everybody has uttered the
word ' mystification.' "
The Prince DE JOINVILLE has sadly disappointed
the people of Toulon. Great preparations had been
made for a public reception, all the authorities of the
town and arrondisement were to welcome his Royal
Highness, and fetes of no ordinary kind were ex-
pected, when lo ! the PRINCE changes his mind, and
as report says, wa3 about to start from Cadiz direct
to the Chateau d'Eu. The Sentinelle de Toulon thus
endeavours to explain the matter :
"At eleven this morning a ship of the line and a
steamer came in sight, and, as it was supposed that the
Prince de Joinville was on board, all the authorities held
themselves in readiness to receive him. It being, how-
ever, ascertained that this was not the case, the troops
were sent back to their barracks, and the maritime pre-
fect annulled all the orders which he had previously
given under the conviction of the approaching visit of
the Prince. At half-past five this evening, the Suffren
ship of the line, and the Montezuma steam-frigate, en-
tered the port. They left Cadiz on the 21st. The Prince
de Joinville was to leave on the following day direct for
Eu. Thus his Royal Highness has renounced with re-
gret his intention of passing through Toulon, where a
brilliant reception had been prepared for him. We are
assured that the Prince, not having received any news
of the Princess, his spouse, had conceived from this
silence an uneasiness which led to the determination that
he has come to. The Prince, besides, is himself slightly
indisposed, and all these circumstances have induced
him to return as speedily as possible to the bosom of his
family."
We suspect the Prince DE JOINVILLE is a self-
willed, vain young man. Such conduct will not add
to his popularity.
The Semaphore de Marseilles publishes the follow-
ing unwelcome intelligence from Algiers :
" The Pharamond, which arrived on the 26th at Mar-
seilles, which she left on the 24th, brings information
that our troops have been sharply attacked at Dellys.
Marshal Bugeaud had invited the principal chiefs of the
environs, and of the newly-subjected tribes, to be pre
sent on the 22d at a grand review. They attended, but
the review was hardly over when the Marshal was in-
formed that the tribes, profitihg by the absence of their
chiefs, had proceeded against
allDeys, where they at-
tacked our troops and mastacred portion of the inha-
bitants, after plundering them. The Marshal instantly
sent off two steamers laden with troops to Bugia in order
to punish the offenders. On the following day two com-
panies of engineers and. artillery were also sent off for
lf
the same purpose.

MORTALITY IN TIIE METROPOLIS.—There has been
a considerable increase in the number of deaths
during the week ending Saturday, September 28, as
compared with the previous week. The total num-
ber was 932 ; previous week, 857 ; average for the
summer months, 897. The increase has been chiefly
in deaths caused by small-pox, scarlatina, typhus,
erysipelas, and violence, which are respectively as
follows, with the average :-37, 11 ; 85, 39 ; 34, 28 ;
11, 4; 44, 24. The second figures denote the ave-
rage for the summer months. The deaths from
small-pox occurred at the following ages :
eight under, one year ;
eleven, 1-3 ; five
3-5 ; seven, 5-10 ; two, 10-15 ; three,
20-30 ; and one, 34 years. The following is an
analysis of the list of violent deaths :—fracture or con-
tusion, 16 cases, of which 9 were by falls ; 4by
horses and carriages ; 1 by a wheel ; 1 by railway

INCREASE or OMNIBUSES.—The omnibuses now
run twenty times a day between Liverpool and Aigburth,
and almost as often between Liverpool and Waterloo,
and although there is no village to which the communi-
cation is so frequent, there is now not one of any size,
within five or six miles of this town, which has mot its
omnibuses several times a day. A dozen years ago omni-
bases were unknown in Liverpool, and their rapid rise and
increase furnishes almost as striking a proof of the fact
that cheap travelling produces the love of travelling,
as the spread of the population on the Cheshire side of
the river since the reduction of the steam-boat fares.
The consequence of these improvements is that half of
the middle and upper classes of the people of Liverpool
now live out of town, to the great improvement of their
own and their families health and enjoyment of life. Of
late the omnibuses have not only increased in number,
but improved in neatness and convenience, and some of
them are now turned out in a very superior style.—Li-
verpool Courier.
A deplorable catastrophe occurred a few days ago
at Saint Tropez, in the Var. A servant girl who had
been sent by her mistress to make some purchases at a
provision-warehouse, was standing in the shop on a
plank which covered an opening into the cellar, when
the plank broke, and she fell into a vat in which was a
quantity of crushed grapes in a state of fermentation.
A young man who was crushing grapes near the spot en•
deavoured to extricate the poor girl, but was himself
overpowered by the gas from the vat, and both perished.

to 3d. ; 100 Egyptian, at 6d. ; and the rest American,
at 34d to 50. per lb.—The Share Market had a droop-

The private mercantile letters brought by the Over-

telligence will be found in another column of The Sun.
Some intermediate dates have come to hand from
New. South Wales this morning. The new regula-
tions relating to " squatting," or the occupation of
unappropriated lands, appear to have been misunder
stood, and the Governor has sent home for the assent of
the Colonial Secretary to a new code, by which the colo-
nists are in future to be governed. The most important
article is, that every squatter, after an occupa-
tion of five years, shall have an opportunity afforded
him of purchasing a portion of his " run," if not less
than 320 acres, for a homestead. Thus the value of any
important and useful improvement made by him is to be
allowed. The purchaser is not to be disturbed in his
" run" for a period of eight years, and if contiuued pur-
chases are made, the lease will be virtually an eight
years' one. The rights of the Crown are to remain in-
violate. The sales of land are to be by public auction.
Na license for a homestead is to cover more than 12,800
acres of land, unless it be certified by a Commissioner
that the 12,800 acres will not keep, in ordinary seasons,
4,000 sheep. The Colonial journals consider the above
regulations as of an equitable nature, but the 11. per
acre minimum still excited great dissatisfaction.
From Bathurst we have some statistics of the extent
to which the system is to be carried out, of boiling
down sheep, &c., for the fat only, to he shipped to this
country. In the establishment of Mr. Austin, where
there had been boiled down, from the 21st of March to
the 11th of May last, not less than 4,295 sheep and 281
cattle. In other establishments large numbers of sheep
and cattle had been similarly treated. The value of
stock was therefore on the rise.

The Stock market is not quite so firm to-day. Con-
sols realise 100 k to 1004 for money, and loot to a for
account. A sale or two, to real:se profits, has been the
cause of the temporary depression. Bank Stock has
been at 2091 for account. Exchequer Bills have realised
745. to 765. premium.
The Foreign Securities have been without any material
alteration. Spanish Five per Cents. obtain 24 to 244,
and the Three per Cents. 35k to 35i. Mexican are 351
to 35i, Columbian 14k, and Brazilian 87k. Belgian
Stock is worth 1034, and Dutch Five per Cents. ex div.
are 981.
The Railway Shares have been supported, but there is
very little doing up to the present time.
