fourth time the Jullads brought the bones of both the
Feringhees, and the Doctor immediately said they were
the right ones, on which he took them and deposited
them in a box. A gentleman of the name of Hart Saheb,
who was in Affghanistan in the regiment of Sher Bizan,
who bad come, via Peshawur and Caubul, in the disguise
of Moollah, is also at Bokhara. tie observed all the
customs of the Mahomedans after he quitted Peshawur,
and said his prayers regularly five times a day, and. al-
ways
stood as an Imam in the different mosques which
he ►isited. He reached Bokhara many days before Dr. '
Wolff, and he openly joined the Doctor and the vakeel
of the King of Iran when they arrived, and attended
them to the durbar, conversing freely with the King.
Water used to be brought three times a month to Bok-
hara from the river Amoo, but since Dr. Wolff and his
attendants have arrived water •is brought ten times a
mouth. Dr. Wolff goes to the King in a very indepen-
dent manner, and has given out that he means to remain
a whole year, being provided with the protection of the
two powerful Sovereigns of Room and Iran. He says
he will prove befure he goes away that the two Fering-
hees were vakeels to the King of England, and that they
were registered as such in the proper offices. Naih
Abd-001-Summud Khan was privately very kind to Dr.
Wolff and to the vakeel. He is one of the great Ameers,
and he was appointed to command the army of Bokhara.

THE PUNJAUB.
(From the Delhi Gazette.)
The news from Lahore is important. Another link in
the great chain which bound the empire of Runjeet Sing
together has been broken. Dewitt' Mull, the respected
Govern Mooltan, is really dead, and his son, Lalla
Meolrej, a maw of reputed talent, has been appointed by
Heera Sing to succeed him. It is probable, though we
can only surmise the fact, that the Dewan died soon after
the infliction of the wound which has proved mortal. and
that his relatives succeeded in eoncealing the fact, as is
so often done in similar cases, until the son should have
made sufficient interest at court to obtain the appoint-
tnent of his father. It appears, that a notorious criminal
had been rummoned before the Dewan in person, to un-
dergo the investigation of some late and heinous offence.
On being taken before the Governor,he drew a concealed
pistol, and discharged the contents at Sawun Mull. The
first accounts were that he had not been hurt by the
fellow, but as it was also reported that he had swooned,
we could scarcely believe that a man of the Dowan's
character would exhibit so much weakness at the mere
discharge of a pistol. The next account received in La
hore was, that he had been wounded, but was ra-
pidly recovering from the effects. Then came the
Bazar report of his death, and in good time, when
it might be safely made public, the authentic
confirmation of that report. The loss is undoubt-
edly a severe one to the country he has governed
so long and so ably, and is to be deplored by the lovers
of good order, which he has certainly maintained on our
frontier with a great degree of firmness ; we say our
frontier, because the interests of the Khan Bahawulpore
are so entirely interwoven with our own that we almost
look on his territory as an integral part of the British
dominion. Mr. H. T. Prinsep, who must, of course,
have enjoyed the very best opporttinities of acquiring
accurate knowledge, in treaVng of the passes from Hin-
dostan into Afghanistan, observed that those leading
directly west from the banks of the Indus to the
Ghuznee and Candahar districts would not have been
available to us on account of the personally hostile feel-
ing of Dewen Sawun Mull towards the British. No
such opinion wonld have been pronounced by Mr.
Prinsep if he had not had good reason for so doing ; but
it is also certain that no occasion has offered, to the
knowledge of the public, for the display of such feeling ;
nor have we ever given him cause, that we actually
know of, to exhibit its extent in his capacity of a
feudatory of the Punjaub empire ; but, nevertheless, we
assume that such a feeling of enmity, proved as it is on
Mr. Prinsep's assertion to have existed, was not
likely to have decreased by our encroachments
on the very frontier of his territory, by our
relations with Bahawulpore, or by the con-
stant passage, up and down the Sutlej, of large bodies
of troops; and that in the event of a hostile invasion of
the Puejaub by British troops as principals, Dewar
Sawun Mull, however anxious he might be to be inde-
pendent of Lahore, would have supported the head of the
state-against us, under the idea that the fall of the gene-
ral Government must involve the destruction of all minor
dependencies. We may, therefore, look on his death as
the removal of a powerful barrier to our possible inter-
ference in the affairs of the country beyond the Sutlej.
Military preparations continue at Lahore; troops are
still being sent across the Rime, and everything bears
the appearance of a speedy rupture. The Minister is,
however, doubtful as to the result of the struggle, and
anxious to lose no opportunity of resorting to negotia-
tions. He seems, nevertheless, pretty certain that if his
brother, Jowhair Sing, whom Rejah Gholab Sing is
to anxious to see, went to Jumbo°, there would be as
little chance of an accommodation, and of seeing him re-
turn, as there appears to have been with the members of
the previous embassy; we hear nothing of their return,
and may therefore believe in the truth of the general re-
port that they are detained prisoners. propably with their
own conseet. The 12th of this month was fixed on for
tee departure of !leers Sing at the head of the army,
but whether he will have actually marched on that day
remains to be seen.
Since the above was written, we have learned that the
Minister has at length acceded to his brother's anxious
wivh to go to Jumboo, and that he was to leave Lahore
on the Bth or gth.

AT rAcK ON THE PIRATES OF SAKARRAN.
(From the Sittgapo,e Free Press.)
On Monday evening the Hon. Company's steamer
Phlegethon (Scott) returned from Borneo, bringing ac-
counts of very important operations against the pirates
of Sakarran, attended with much success. but also, we
regret to say, with considerable loss on our side. Below
we give an account of the expedition, the detailed nature
of which renders any remarks of our own at present
unnecessary. The Dido was to follow the Phlegethon to
Singapore, and may be expected in about eight days
hence. The Semarang (Sir E. Belcher, K.C.8.) was
also at Sarawak when the Phlegethon left :
" Lest year I was enabled to furnish you with an ac-
count of the proceedings of her Majesty s ateamer Dido
(Captain the Hon. Henry Keppel) against the piratical
tribe of Serebas; and I am now happy to forward a brief
notice of the measures taken by that officer against the
equally piratical Dyaks of Sakarran.
" The piracies of these lipase have long been noto-
rious, and they have carried on their depredations along
the entire north-west coast of Borneo, and to the south-
ward even as far as Celebes. The principal promoters
of piracy were Shereef Sahib, of Sadung, and his brother,
Shereef Moolah, of Sakarran, and the boldness of the
Dyaks is mainly to be attributed to these chiefs, as they
were in the habit of sending parties of Malays in every
Dyak fleet, both to assist and guide the Dyaks to their
prey. They shared with their Dyak colleagues in all
plun ler and slaves, and exercised so evil an influence
that the popular nickname of Shereef Sahib was Bujang
Braid (brave beclusior), the name of the Dyak bird of
omen. Sadung has long been the nucleus of piracy, and
Malay prahus, frequently manned by Lanuns, were sent
to cruise about the Natunas and Sambas, whilst the re-
gular fleets of Lanuns, whenever they visited the coast,
met with a friendly reception arid drove their nefarious
treac with the inhabitants of Sangie.
" Last year the severe lesion given to the Serebas
horde alarmed for a time both tht se piratical Shereefs
and their colleagues, the Dyaks of Sakarran, and many
promises were then made to Captain Koppel that they
woti,i in future abstain from piracy. On the return of
the Dido to China the coast remained quiet for some
months, but it appears that about the beginning of this
year the final resolve was taken by Shereef Sahib to col-
lect his followers, anti, in concert with his brother and
the Sakarrans, to resist any attack that might be made
upon them.
" In April Shereef Sahib, having collected a large
fleet of Malay and Dyak prahus, removed to Putusan,
and directly leegan to fortify. No sooner was he estab-
lished than both Malays and Dyaks were let loose and
committed depredations both by sea and land, stopping
all trade, and butchering the unhappy inland Dyaks. It
appeared as though the abstinence of a few months had
given a keener relish to their ordinary pursuits, and it
was, therefore, with heartfelt satisfaction that we hailed
the arrival of the Dido and the Ph!egethon steamers,
who came to put an end to a horrible series of crimes,
which it is needless for me to dwell upon more at large.
" Captain Keppel having inquired into the facts, de-
aided with his usual promptitude on making an imme-
diate atta,k on Sakarran, and punishing both Malays
cod Dyaks for their repeated and flagrant acts of piracy
So recently committed. On the morning of the sth of
August, the steamer Phlegethon, with the boats of Dido
ea tow, and accompanied by about 20 native prahus, pro-
ceeded to the entrance of the Batong Lupar, which was
reached the same evening. On the following morning,
the boats having joined, the force moved up to the en-
trance of the Linga river, and anchored for the tide, to
enable the steamer to pass the shoals, which intervene
between the Linga and Putusan.
" To enable your readers to follow the further pro-
feedings I may here briefly describe the river and the
various localities.
"Batong Lupar is a noble stream, about two miles in
width at its entrance ; for twenty miles it is deep and
free from danger, and at that distance from the entrance
is the considerable river of Linga oa the right hand.
From the Linga to Putusan is about twenty miles fur-
'ter ; the river is shoal, is obstructed by sandbanks, the
tide rapid, and at the springs a heavy bore runs in,
which is dangerous for boats. From Putusan to the
small and rapid river of Undup is teem fifteen to twenty
miles further, and five miles beyond is the town of Sakar-
ran, situated on the junction of the Batong Lupar and
the Sakarran.
" The river Sakarran, whieh runs to the left from the
town of the same name, is navigable for boats for forty
miles, and is a narrow but pleasant stream, with cleared
banks well cultivated, or laid out with fruit trees. The
Batong Lupar is likewise well cleared of jungle on the
banks, and inhabited by Dyaks, who, however, are less
addicted to piracy than the Dyaks of Sakarran.
" The Undup is a small stream, and about five miles
from its entrance was the town of the same name, the
residence of Shereef Mulah. Beyond Undup the stream
becomes very narrow, the banks are wooded, and there
are no inhabitants until reaching the village of the
Undup Dyaks, abort twenty-five miles further. On the
morning of the 7th the steamer, with the boats in tow,
weighed at daylight, and advanced towards Putusan ;
after safely passing the shoal,' she anchored for an hour
u wait fur the rise of the water, and afterwards brought
p abreast of the forts of Putusan. The position was
not ill chosen, the at gglinz town being situated within

CHINA.
Paul Ivy Stirling, Esq., Attorney-General of this
colony, has been appointed a member of the Executive
Council.—Friend of China, Aug. 7.
CANTON.—Our dates are to the 14th. All was quie
Some heavy purchases of silk have been made. Another
meeting was held at the Consulate regarding the build-
ing-ground leased by. her Majesty's superintendent of
trade from the Chinese ; but as formerly, the merchants
would not agree to the very stringent terms upon which
it is proposed to sub-let part of the ground to them.
Two houses, as we mentioned some time ago, have signed
the agreement, but nothing has been done in the way of
building. The Hong merchants hare had another call
from their Government to pay five millions of dollars,
their portion of the Canton ransom money, but they
continue inflexible in their determination not to do so.
They were all summoned into the city on the 12th. The
result is not known, but the impression is that they will
be imprisoned. However, Samqua, and others who are
possessed of valuables, have removed from their own
bongs, so as to be out of the reach of the Governnsent
harpies.—Friend of China, Aug. 15.
By her Majesty's steamer Vixen we have two or
three papers to the 27th ult., but as our intermediate
dates between the sailing of the Spiteful and those
brought by the Vixen are still wanting, our intelligence
is incomplete. We gather, however, from those papers
which we have received, that much sickness has again
prevailed at Hong-Kong, and that a number of deaths
have occurred. At Amoy also there seems to be much
sickness, though we cannot gather from what cause.
The sickness at Hong-Kong is attributed to imperfect
drainage, &c. The Rob Roy, on her way from Macao
to Calcutta, was obliged to put back to Victoria, having
sprang her foremast in a heavy gale. We observe that
the French Plenipotentiary arrived at Macao from Ma-
nilla on the 15th ultimo, when his Excellency immedi-
ately landed. We gather from the Friend of China,
that the American Plenipotentiary has been negotiat-
ing with Keying with a view to the improvement of some
parts of the British treaty. It is mentioned that he has
got the 17th article of the supplementary treaty, by
which small vessels visiting the different ports had to
pay such enormous duties at each place, amended.
The 13th article of that treaty, however, by which Chi-
nese merchants coming to Hong. Kong to purchase goods
must ship them in a Chinese vessel, seems to remain
unaltered. The mandarins at the new ports have put aiery
wide interpretation on this clause, since they have even
extended it to the case of Chinese merchants sending
goods from Singapore. We believe that they objected
to admitting goods sent by some of the Chinese here in
British vessels, and that the difficulty was got over by
making out bills of lading in the names of the com-
manders or other persons not Chinese. The attempt to
strain this article so as to apply it to Singapore is very
absurd, and the more so, as it happens that most of the
Chinese here who have shipped largely for the northern
ports, are not subjects of the Emperor of China at all,
but British subjects born in Malacca. After a little more
experience of the working of the treaties, Mr. Davis
will find room enough for a new supplementary treaty.
Mr. Davis was to leave Victoria in company with the
Admiral on the 28th ult., on a tour of inspection of the
northern ports.—Singapore Free Press, Sept. 12.
We understand the French squadron arrived at
Macao on the morning of Thu.sday last, and the Am-
bassador landed in the course of the chg.—Hong-Kong

Our brother of the Friend of China, in his issue of
the 14th instant, says he cannot corroborate the state-
ment in our last number, that another week (from the
6th to the 13th) had passed without his hearing of any

and continued, during the day, pulling against a strong
fresh breeze in the river. Early on the 14th it was evi-
dent that we were approaching the enemy, as a few
boats were fallen in with and taken in full retreat ; and
about nine o'clock A.M. a large fleet was found iu a creek
below the Dyak village of Undup. Above the creek, on
a rising ground, was the temporary encampment of the
enemy, end the Dyak village stood on a hill above, at a
long musket range distance. The enemy abandoned
their boats and encampment and opened their fire from
the Dyak village upon our party. The position was
commanding, and, I regret to say, that Mr. Wade, the
first lieutenant of the Dido, was killed whilst gallantly
advancing to the assault. The place was carried with-
out a check, and the enemy were completely and finally
routed and driven in every direction into the jungle.
The object of the advance having been thus gained, the
force dropped down the same evening to the still burn-
ing town of Shereef Mulish. The 15th and 16th were
passed at the steamer, to rest the men after the severe
fatigue encountered up the Undup, and in preparing for
an advance up the Sakarran river.
" The Sakarran, as I have said, is well cultivated on
the banks, and the advance was made for two days with
ease, although each night we were annoyed with parties
of Dyaks, who threw spears from the batik, and occa-
sienally used the sumpitun or blowpipe. An advance of
Malay boats each day preceded the force, and burned
numerous villages on the way, but all the property had
been carefully removed into the interior, and it was
evident that the enemy were prepared beforehand for
our coming.
" On the morning of the 19th a further advance was
made till nine o'clock, when the leading boats of the
Dido stopped to breakfast, and a force of about
t.n small native boats under Patingi Alli was sent in
advance to reconnoitre, with strict orders to fall back on
any appearance of the enemy. These boats soon came
tip with a strong force of Dyaks, stationed on either
bank, and rashly advancing across a barrier thrown
over the river, pushed forward. When beyond the
reach of aid, a raft was cut adrift, and six large native
prahus, with from 50 to 60 men in each, suddenly bore
upon them (three from either batik), impelled down the
strong stream, and closed before it was possible to re-
treat. A scene of confusion and dismay followed, and
our native boats one after another were capsized, and
about 30 men were speared before the second gig and
pinnace of the Dido arrived to their relief. The fortune
of the day was soon turned, the war-boats were captured,
and the Dyaks were driven with great slaughter from
the banks, whilst the boats of the force advanced upon
them 'as quickly as the current would permit.
" The loss of the enemy must have been very great, as
a body of 4,000 or 6,000 men were exposed to our fire-
arms fur several minutes, and the crows of the war
prahus severely bandied before they got ashore. The
expedition may here be said to have closed, as no fur-
ther opposition was offered, and the boats returning to
the Phlegethon, reached Putusan on the 22d, where we
were joined by two beats of her Majesty's ship Sama-
ris g (Sir Edward Belcher), and on the night of the
24th once again reached Sarawak. (laving remained in
Sarawak a day or two. Captain Keppel received infor-
mation that Shereef Sahib had taken refuge in the
Linga river, and that he was there collecting his fol-
lowers with the assistance of Shereef Jailer, a resident
of that place. On the 28th the Phlegethon steamer and
the boats of her Majesty's ships Dido and Samarang
once more started, and proceeded up the river Linga.
Atter pushing forward for two days through numerous
obstacles, we had the satisfaction to learn that Shereef
Sahib, on hearing of our return, finally and precipi-
tately abandoned the country, and fled across the
mountains to the Pontianak river. The boats, in con-
sequence, returned to Banting, where a conference
was held with the Malays and Below Dyaks of the place,
and it was fully explained to them that the measures
taken against piracy were for the protection of all
peaceful communities of the coast. From these people
many assurances were received of their willingness to
cieoperate with us, and one and all were alike urgent
that the Government of their river should be transferred
to the English. On the 4th of September the force
reached Sarawak, and thus terminated a brilliant and
successful expedition against the worst pirates on the
coast of Borneo.
" It is needless here to mention the gallant conduct of
all concerned, but I may briefly sum up the service per-
formed and the obstacles overcome. A Malay horde,
long the terror of the coast, fully provided with arms and
ammunition, have been defeated and dispersed, and their
leaders driven from the country, while numerous peace-
able communities in the vicinity have been released from
a thraldom which has long borne heavily on their in-
dustry, and other chiefs have been shown what they
may expect should they follow the same course. The
Sakarran Dyaks have been punished along with the
Malays, and there is every reason to hope, now that the
evil influence of the chiefs is removed, they may shortly
be reclaimed from their piratical habits ; and, above all,
the sufferings of the inland Dyaks have been ended, and
the trade (which has yearly been more and more ob-
structed) protected from a horde of pirates who have
long carried on their depredations with impunity. A
shoaling and rapid river has been ascended for upwards
of 100 miles, obstacles of no common description have
lse en removed, and the enemy beaten wherever encoun-
tered ; and all this Wormed with a cheerfulness and
good-will which renders war en amusement as
-well as
duty."

IRELAND.
DUBLIN, DEC. 3.—The first of a series of projected
meetings condemnatory of the Catholic Charitebie Be-
quests Bill, was held this day, in the Linen-hall Ward,
pursuant to public notification. Town-courcillor Sheri-
den presided, and Mr. O'Connell was present during the
entire proceedings.
After several spirited and manly resolutions, expres-
sive of disgust with the insidious Catholic Charitable Be-
quests Bill, and declaratory of the fixed and unalterable
determination of the people, by every legal and consti-
tutional means within their grasp, to give the measure
the most unbending and fierce opposition, were adopted,
Mr. O'CONNELL came forward to address the meeting,
and delivered an eloquent speech. He denounced the
B quests Act as an insidious attempt to cause disunion
between the Irish laity and their clergy, the Government
being jealous of that well-deserved and most natural in-
fluence which the Roman Catholic pastors possessed
over their flocks. The Bill, if carried into opera-
tion, would not render the people anything better
than they were before. It was nothing short of a
delusion, a mockery, and a snare, to assert that this
legislative enactment was tabulated, from the beneficial
tendency of its provisions, to ameliorate their
condition. The measure he looked upon as an insult to
the Catholic Church, an injustice to the Catholic clergy,
an impudent and wicked attempt to meddle with matters
of a purely clerical character, and by that means sap the
foundation of the true faith itself. Nothing could be
more manifest than the desire of the Government to
render the Catholic clergy less powerful, less influential,
and less beloved, than they undoubtedly were in Ireland.
But the Catholic people of Ireland were not the willing
serfs, or the submissive slaves of foreign despotism, to
suffer the degradation of their clergy.—(Hear, hear.)
He repeated, that the Catholic Charitable Bequests
Bill could not be looked upon in any other light than as
an insult to the clergy of the Catholic Church. But the
Government should not be permitted to drive their
bantling on Irish ground without finding, at all events,
that the course was not as clear or unimpeded as might
be desired. There should be well organised, well com-
bined, well directed, but nevertheless most constitutional
agitation, against the measure. They should meet in
wards, its parishes, in districts, all over Ireland, and pro-
claim that that they considered the offensive and in-
sulting character of the Bill quite sufficient reason for
pledging themselves to impede its working, if the Go-
vernment persevered in driving them to adopt thatcourse.
Mr. O'Connell then stated. at great length, his objec-
tions to the Bill—the objections of the entire Irish people;
and concluded by stating that if no other person were to
be found, he would himself, at the next meeting con-
♦ened to protest against the:Bequests Bill, propose a re-
solution, as one of the Archbishop's subjects, calling on
the Most Rev. Dr. Murray to decline affording the Go-
♦erntnent any assistance in working out the details of
the measure, and to refuse accepting the Cummissioner-
ship, which either had been offered or was about to be
offered to his Grace.—(This expression of Mr. O'Con-
na's determination was loudly applauded.)
The meeting separated at four o'clock.
COURT OF CHANCERY, Dec. 3.
STRIKING A. SOLICITOR OFF THE ROLL FOR FRADULENTLY
PREPARING AND FABRICATING CERTAIN DEEDS.—IN
RE ANDREW CHRISTOPHER PALLOS, ONE OF THE
SOLICITORS.
Mr. PIGOT, Q.C., at the sitting of the Court, read the
affidavit filed by Mr. Patios, solicitor, in obedience to
the orders of the Chancellor, explanatory of the part
taken by him in the execution and preparation of cer-
tain deeds referred to in the cause of " Foster v. Goold
and others," which were declared in the course of pro-
ceedings before the Court of Chancery on Monday week
to have been fabricated for the purpose of imposition and
dishonesty, and with the intent of conveying, granting,
aliening, and releasing unto Pallos and J. J. Hardy cer-
tain lands and hereditaments, forming portion of the
Goold estate, in the county of Tipperary, and to their
heirs and assigns. When the Chancellor discovered
that the deeds in question were impeached by
coatis.' for the defendants in the cause, he
ordered them to be collected and impounded,
and directed Mr. Pallos to be called upon to answer
to the Court fur his apparently fraudulent,
most improper, and exceedingly dishonest conduct.
The Learned Counsel addressed the Court at consider-
able length on behalf of Mr. Pallos, and commented for-
cibly on those portions of the affidavit in which the depo-
nent swore that all the deeds were prepared in the office
of Hardy, and amended in his own handwriting ; that he
did not know by whom the alterations in the deed of
1834 were made ; that they were not done by him, or
with his knowledge, assent, privity, or consent, ur by any
of his acquaintances, and that he was ignorant of the
object of such alterations. That he was willing to sub-
mit to the inspection of the several parties interested in
the case, all documents, deeds, and mortgages in hie pos-
session, and that he never was a party to, or cognisant
of, any plan for raising money, and that he never con-
templated the raising of money by any dealing under the
deed of 1834, which purported to make him and J. J.
Hardy trustees,
The Lord CHANCELLOR stated that the explanation
stated to be given by Air. Pallos did not at all relieve
that person from the serious charges appearing against
him, and that, therefore, for the sake of the respectable
profession to which he belonged, for the safety of the
suitors of that Court, as well as of the public generally,
it was his painful duty to direct that Mr. Pallos's name
should be removed from the roll of solicitors. As re-
garded the part which Mr. Hardy had taken in the
transaction, explanation should be offered for it before
the Benchers of the Queen's Inns.

from the restoration of their old Parliament in Col-
lege-green. No Repeal agitator ever thinks of giving
them a common-sense view of the question—of show-
ing them the reverse side of the picture—how the
internal discords, and
,i,alousies, and distrusts, and
divisions that would infallibly ensue from Repeal, would
have the effect of driving capital from the country,
putting an end to all commercial enterprise,
rendering the landlords more keenly and selfishly
alive to their own particular interest than ever, and
adding tenfold to the difficulties of the peasant in ob-
taining even the scantiest subsistence. No repeal agi-
tator, we say, ever thinks of giving any other than a
one-sided view of the question. It would not
suit his party purposes to do so, and ac-
cordingly the restless and sanguine Irish masses
are left to anticipate all sorts of benefits from
Repeal, not one of which will ever be realised. This
is a sad state of things to contemplate, and the only
remedy we know of; consists in the prompt introduc-
tion of such a system of popular education into Ire-
land as shall give the peasantry a better insight than
they now possess into their real interests.

decisions of the rural justices in quarter sessions, on

certain informations under the Game•laws, to which

we recently adverted, may be entitled to more respect
than we really thought it likely they could ever
carry with them. We were wrong in imagining that
only in agricultural counties, like Kent and Sussex,
Somersetshire and Wiltshire, peril of human life and

limb was held to be of minor public import than peril
of partridges. We must suppose, at any rate, that

eluded—an assault with intent to—kill. We stated,
at the time, that this penalty was a much severer one
than the law attached to many grave misdemeanours
amounting almost to felony ; but, in the me►ropolitan
police-offices, the magistrates appear to be tied down
by the letter of an absurdly imperfect statute to re-
peat these preposterous anomalies in the law of

criminal compensations. At Union-hall, a ruffian,
described as mate of a merchantman, was brought

up, charged with an act of fiendish brutality, under
the following circumstances :—lie called with a
messmate on a poor woman, the wife of an acquaint-

ance of his, then away at sea; and after being
hospitably entertained, in consideration of his in-
timacy with her husband, the fellow repaid the kind-

ness of hi: hostess by the rudest and most scandalous

conduct towards her, in which the scoundrel vk ho
was in his company assisted him; and in the struggle

she offered to theni the poor woman's right arm wa,
broken. For this assault and injury the sitting

inaglstrate sentenced the mate (his confederate being
on a voyage, or not forthcoming) to a fine of-5/., or

HIGH WATER AT LONDON.BRIDGE THIS DAY.
1 minutes after 10 1 Evening... 45 minutes after IP.

We have not the Act before us under which Mr.
COTTINGUAM pronounced this remarkable sentence ;
but we suppose, as matter of course, that it was the
maximum penalty inflicted by the statute under such
circumstances. Our complaint, therefore, must be,
not t..f Mr. COTTINGHAM, who must administer the
law as he finds it, but of the legislation which has
left him such a law to administer. Five pounds for
the serious, and alarming, and disabling injury in-
flicted by two brutal cowards on a defenceless
woman! Ten pounds for a random shot—harmless
as the waggery of an alderman—at a covey of birds !
What is the principle, the proportion, or the justice
of this scheme of punishments ? Perhaps a covey of
partridges, in the eye of the framers of the statute
under consideration, was regarded as in the nature
of a corporation ;—having a right of action for tres-
pass committed on one of its members as for a tool
to the whole body. But this hypothesis will not
much aid the defence of such partial law-making.
For if it be assumed that for one of the partridges to
have been wounded, or in danger of being wounded,
was case enough to ground the penalty of 101., what
is the equation between the bird and the woman ?
That the one arm of the latter is legally appraised at
half the amercement valuation of the two legs of the
former ;—that on this principle, 51. penalty is decreed
in the one instance, 101. in the other. But really
the only Saxon tariff of criminal compensations,
which so nicely ascertained the graduated fines for
murders, homicides, &c., and so respectfully ran up
the score from the zero point that marked the con-
sideration to be exacted for the simple indulgence of
slaying a " Ceorl," or rural serf, to the patrician
price at which alone the aristocratic luxury of knock-
ing a Thane or an Ealder-man on the head could be
atoned for, was neither more barbarous, nor more
absurd, nor more intolerable, than the "sliding-scale"
of protection which the existing law has applied to
preserves of game and the preserving of human life,
respectively. See to what enormous and preposterous
consequences these " discriminating" penalties logi-
cally tend. The defence of the mate to the charge of
breaking the poor woman's arm was not a denial of
the fact, but, as it were, a plea in abatement—he was,
forsooth, intoxicated. Then, intoxication disposes
men of the mate's temperament to acts of brutality.
Drunken men are, proverbially, fools. Fools, ac-
cording to LOCKE'S definition, are different from
madmen in this —that, in place of drawing right
conclusions from false premises, they draw false con-
clusions from right premises. So a madman would
have rightly inferred, on the false asAuinption that the
Somersetshit e m tgiitrates had laid down bad law, in
mulcting a man in 101. who had shot at birds with-
out hitting them, that he himself had only to kill all
birds that might come within his reach, to be safely
within the law. But a fool, from the correct pre-
mises that to wound, or to attempt to wound, a par-
tridge, incurs a penalty of 101., whilst an absolute
mutilation of a woman will subject him to no more
than a 51. fine, falsely concludes that it is at once SI.
better and cheaper to commit the one outrage than
the other. If the mate be but a fool, in addition to
being a brute, we are curious to know to what future
atrocities his inductive reasoning and our admirable
statute-law will lead him.

A latter from "A Mechanic," which appears in the
columns of our paper to-day, will be found to com-
prise some suggestions in relation to the mode of
giving effect to Mr. COBDEN'S propositions for se-
curing the return of County Members to Parliament,
who shall be the pledged advocates of the unrestricted
freedom of trade. The difficulties opposing them-
selves to the purchase of freehold qualifications for
any large number of voters are, as "A Mechanic"
rightly surmises, of a twofold character:-1. The
enormous aggregate of the funds required for such a
purpose; 2. The enhanced amount of that aggregate,
by reason of the proportionably larger prices which
the smaller freeholds are found to realise in the
market—it being, however, with small freeholds only
that any such plan as Mr. COBDEN'S could deal. For
the mode in which our Correspondent would meet

these difficulties, we must refer the reader to a
perusal of the letter, in which it is expounded with
some degree of care.

Madrid, papers, of the 27th ult., contain some de-
tails of the melancholy events at Logrono. A letter
in the Gazette states that the other son of ZuanANo,
BALLA.NAS (his aid-de-camp), and five others had
surrendered to the General commanding in that dis-
trict, and were immediately ordered to be shot. Several
others, who had surrendered at Burgos, had under-
gone the same fate. ZURBANO still continued to
elude his pursuers. The force of discussing the Re-
form Bill was still going on in the Chamber of
Deputies.

the singular and unexpected attack made by the
Journal des Debuts on the policy of Queen CHRISTINA

journals. Most of the Opposition papers express
astonishment and indignation on finding a Ministerial
organ disowning and denouncing the policy of the
present rulers, who were abetted in all their intrigues
at Paris, and forced on Spain by the French Go-
vernment. "If you," says the Courrier Francais, in
animadverting on the new tact of the Cabinet, " had
no confidence in the men who now govern Spain,

Ministry ? Why did you give the mot d'ordre to

Royal High!less the Duchess (Pr;”eess) of Gloucester.—
Noniteur Beige.
We have learned of the d reale of the celebrated
M. Emanuel de Fellenberg, proprietor of the great
agricultural establishment at Hofuyl, in Switzerland.
The eldest son of this remarkable man is married to the
sister of Madame Nothomb.
The Chamber of Representatives voted to-day the

Tint HAGUE, DEC. 2.—Among the reports of the
day is one affirming that his Excellency, M. Ryk, the
Minister of Marine, will very likely be appointed to the
high office of Governor-General of India. It is affirmed
that the choice would probably have already fallen
on him, if a naval officer, qualified in every respect for
the post of Minister of Marine, had been found.

THE UNITED SERVICE MAGAZINE for December
contains, as usual with this able periodical, many papers
of vast interest both to professional and non-professional
readers. We need only to allude to two of the most re-
markable. These are, the account of the reviews at
Verona, an excellent description of the manoeuvres of
the Austrian army—" Notices from Kaffirlaud," a stirring
narrative of the events that have recently taken place in
the interior of our possessions at the Cape—" A Pursuit
into the United States after British Deserters charged
with Felony," by Sir J. E. AlexatAer, an amusing picture
of the sense of justice and state of feeling of the American
population bordering on Canada—" A Record of Indian
`Warfare," by Percy B. St. John, contains an animated
tale of a contest between some settlers in the new Re-
public of Texas, and a tribe of \\race() Indians;—and
" The Naval Chaplain's Note-Book"—interesting re•
miniscences of sdvertures in the East, combined with
some curious particulars of that extraordinary character,
Lady Hester Stanhope.
EARL GRET.—We are glad to learn that this dis-
tinguished nobleman has so far recovered from the severe
illness under which he laboured, as to enjoy the society
of his family as usual, and to take, weather permitting,
an occasional drive round his domains.—Tyne Mercury.
EDWARD CLASPER.—We regret to have to state
that one of the Five Brothers, Mr. Edward Clasper, fell
on Saturday last, whilst on board his wherry, by which
accident his arm was broken above the elbow. We fear
this " untoward event" may long disable him from row-
ing in that boat in which he and his brethren have gained
so much fame.—Tyne Mercury.
FATAL ACCIDENT TO MR. KINDERBLET.—WIN.
CHESTER, DEC. 3.—A very melancholy accident has oc•
curred here to-day. Mr. Kindersley, brother of Mr
Kindersley, of Lincoln's Inn, was out with the hounds
this morning, and in attempting to jump over something
in his road, was thrown from his horse, and before medi-
cal
assistance could arrive was a corpse. It 611 produced
s gest seusstiou here.
