LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19,

couragement to those wild aborigines, at the hands of
British authorities, have not hitherto been followed by the
beneficent results that, as a general consequence, are planted
in " new countries" with the British flag, we may be assured
that sufficient time has not yet elapsed since our occupation
—or that circumstances, in themselves sufficiently favourable,
have not yet occurred—for overcoming the enormous power
of national habits, the strength of early-inculcated super-
stitions, or the brutalising effects of a gross and benighted
ignorance, and ages of prescriptive indulgence in sensual and
vindictive criminality. If the Bushmen at the Cape of
Good Hope, or the nameless nomadic tribes who
wander over the interior wastes of New Holland, still
continue inaccessible to the mild conquests of our influence
and our example, we must have patience. We may be very
sure that public opinion at home would not permit our au-
thorities abroad to neglect the great duties that devolve on
the representatives of the Queen of all civilised States in the
native regions of the unreclaimed savage. Besides, the
dictates of self-interest, although a more sordid, would
be by no means a less efficient motive to the adoption
of a kindly and improving policy towards the aborigines
by those who had come to live among them. But the English
free settlers, the " squatters," and the farmers of our various
territories in New Holland, complain that the native tribes
(incited in many cases, no doubt, by the runaway convicts,
deserters from merchant ships, from our men-of-war, and
from the:whaling vessels of the United States, who take to the
" bush"), are of predatory habits so incorrigible, that it is be-
coming impossible to preserve large flocks on sheep-walks
which are situate far inland, or in districts more adjacent to
the sea, but in the vicinity of the native haunts, from wholesale
plunder and destruction. We are sorry to find from the last file
of Australian papers we have seen that these depredations
are becoming so frequent and so extensive as to have quite
disheartened some of the flock-masters. Their apprehensions
are aggravated by the vexatious operation of the extremely
impolitic pasture licenses, which the local Government per-
sists in requiring owners of any stock exceeding a given
number, to take out at a cost which is really extravagant in
a country that circulates so little money. Many of them,
finding that the encouragement they once had for
their industry and enterprise (and their long and
perilous journeys in quest of new sheep and cattle
walks rendered them the pioneers of geographical dis-
covery through the stupendous solitudes of that still imper-
fectly explored fifth continent), have abandoned the useful
pursuits of grazing altogether, except on the limited scale of
small stock-farms. They are now driving what we conceive
to be a most pernicious trade, destructive in the long run
to their own means, although at the present it is
bringing them in very heavy returns. This trade is
strictly analogous to that which a farmer at home, here,
would be considered to be driving, who should
first have made up his mind to the sacrifice of all the previous
outlay he had been at, and then betake himself to living, as
well as trading, upon capital, instead of profits. The Austra-
lian colonists, who in past years exported the finest wools in
the world to the English and to other markets, have now
adopted pretty generally the practice of boiling or
melting down the carcasses of their sheep for the
sake of the tallow—a commodity which is, at present,
the subject of profitable export from their shores. Of
course it will now be their purpose not to follow in the foot-
steps of M'ARTHUR, and the other provident founders of
Australian prosperity, in times past, by assiduous attention
to and an enterprising outlay upon the continued improve-
ment of the quality of their fleeces and the mode of preparing
them for the consumers in Europe, and especially in Great
Britain; but to feed their sheep and their oxen for the sake
of the tallow. Any more improvident waste of means in a
young colony we cannot picture to ourselves. By the same
remarkable law of nature which pervades almost the entire
of the lands included within the enormous limits occupied by
the Polynesia, Australia is singularly poor in the larger
mammalia adapted either for the food or the service of man.

whole press of Madrid, the provinces, and foreign nations ; it
is attacked with equal violence by those who wish to let
loose revolution and those who wish to enchain it ; by the
Tiempo, the Globo, and the Heraldo, who demand the appli-
cation of the representative system in all its purity; by the
Clamor Publico, the Espectador, and the Eco del Comercio,
who do not think the Constitution sufficiently revolutinary;
and by the Conciliador, the Esperanza, and the Catolico, who
find it too liberal. In the face of this universal oppositicn,
which is made with a conjunction, a boldness and force of
reason and expression which cannot be misunderstood, the
Ministry preserves the most inexplicable coolness and confi-
dence. It retains on its side the Posdata alone, a jour-
nal not more than twice as big as a man's hand, and of
which it makes use, not in its defence, but to provoke the
eight or ten other journals, some of which have remarkable
influence, which are at the disposal of its adversaries."
The France says :—" Spain is more than ever given up to
riot—to sudden and sanguinary revolutionary agitations.
Scarcely has the young QUEEN had time to turn her,eyes away
from the barbarous spectacles presented to her by the
northern provinces, than she, on arriving at Madrid, has to
behold more precious blood flowing from the veins of the citi-
zens of her capital. Letterswhich have reached us from Madrid
are filled with sinister prognostications. At the departure
of the mail, alarming reports were in circulation of a new
insurrectional movement. It was said that the conspirators
were about to attempt something more serious than the last
riot. In fine, it was announced that a manifestation was to
be made that very evening. Thus menaced daily, hourly,
momentarily, the Spanish Government cannot remain much
longer under illusion as to the perils of death with which
from this time it is surrounded."

The National and Courrier Francais write in still stronger
terms, and assert, with much truth, that a military Govern-
ment now oppresses Spain, and retain office against the al-
most universal wish of the country. The French Court, as
well as Cabinet, have much to answer for. The expulsion of
EsrAßTEno:and the destruction of the Constitution were ac-
complished by French money and French intrigue.
• In consequence of the unfavourable state of the weather,
the KING did not take his usual out-door exercise on Mon-
day at Eu. The Minister of Marine arrived at the chateau
in tha afternoon.

On the subject of Marshal BUGEIUD'iI Visit to Marshal
SGILT, the Algerie saya

" Marshal Bugeand arrived at Soultberg-on the morning of the 9th,
and left on the 1 lth. The first interview of the two Marshals was
toe long for us to believe that they immediately fell into accord. It
lasted from ten in the morning till five in the afternoon. As might
be expected, after the last acts of the Governor-General of ♦lgeria,
Marshal Itugeand has yielded all the points which were in litigation
between him and the Government. We are assured that the Mar-
shal, Deputy for Excideull, begins to comprehend what every one
else is now convinced of—' that his time in Algiers is finished, and
that he has done all the good he could do there.' It is only to be re-
gretted that he did not retire after his campaign of last year."

its herds, and even its poultry, are of British importation or
descent., The area of New Holland may be roughly stated as
a square, every side of which is 2,000 miles in extent.
Within these extraordinary dimensions all the types of animal
life in its higher organisation, including beasts as well as
the human race, are rare and inferior in the inverse ratio of
the inconceivable space allotted to them. So far as regards
the races of man, there can be no doubt that this scarcity of ani-
mals is not only in itself, but in its reaction on the products
of the vegetable kingdom, a main cause of the paucity of the
native population. In such a state of things it is impossible
to estimate too highly the utility of the sheep in supplying the
deficient quantum of animal and of vegetable food. To con-
sume sheep for the sake of their tallow, is to cut off
the supply both of the one and of the other
at its fountain-head. We are astonished that in
an age like this, when not only meats of all . kinds
can be so economically and so effectively preserved, both by
the older but more expensive, by antiseptic preparations,
and by the still more certain , and more largely
applicable processes of air- exhaustion and:air-tight packing—
but when the victualling of foreign shipping in the Southern
and Pacific Ocean is a trade, as lucrative as it is at times,
for want of supplies, precarious—the curing or preserving of
matter has not proved a main object of colonial ingenuity
and patience. If the duty on raw wools in England,
and the absurd restrictions on the more extensive
depasturing of sheep in Australia by reason of the colonial
license system, render the growing of wool a failing specula-
tion at present, of course the Australian colonist cannot
be expected to pursue it. But, in the meantime, there is
nothing to prevent him from turning his grazing to bet-
ter account than by melting down its products. His
wools might be warehoused against that better market
which every day is more nearly opening for him ; and
his carcasses might surely be cured under the application of a
little of that energy and cleverness which he has shown in so
many other instances—to an extent that would not only, as
in Scotland and the north of England, supply the families of
the settler with a nutritious article of domestic trade at
home (dried mutton, mutton hams, &c.), but furnish
the staple of a most lucrative trade with all the
shipping which frequent the harbours of Sydney, Port Philip,
Adelaide, &c. &c. Redundant millions of sheep might thus,
in the course of a very few years, be converted into many
scores of thousands of ready money, without extinguishing,
in the melting coppers, the principles of capital and subsist-
ence for as long an interval, in exchange for an inconsider-
able present return.

LATE ACCIDENT at WOOLWICH.

INQUEST ON THE BODIES.—(TIIIS DAY.)
The adjourned Coroner's inquest on the bodies of the seven suf-
ferers who perished by the late explosion in the Ros. al Laboratory
department of the Royal Arsenal, was resumed this morning at the
Mortar Tavern, Woolwich, before C. J. Carttar, Esq., and a highly
respectable jury. Mr. J. Colquhoun attended as solicitor on the
part of the Board of Ordance. Colonel .-C
Cockburn, Lieutolonel
.- Dansey, Lieut Colonel Barney, and Mr. Coffin, the heads of the
departments in the Royal Arsenal, attended to watch the
proceedings, and to give evidence. The witnesses examined were
Colonel James Patterson Cockburn, Director of the Royal Labora-
tory Department; Lieutenant Anthony Oldfleld, of the Royal Artil-
lery ; Colonel Charles Cornwallis Danny, Fire-master ; Mr. Win.
Coffin, the Deputy Storekeeper of the Laboratory; and three of the
men employed in the department; but the following summary con-
tains all that can be gleaned from their evidence as to this unfortunate
affair :—lt appeared that the deceased men were employed in
breaking up fumes in the shed in which the explosion occurred, which
was -not a building specially adapted for this purpose. The part
of the floor where the men stood was, however, covered over
with hides, and the whole of the floor was saturated with water.
The mode of breaking up these fusees, the tools for accomplisbing
which were exhibited to the jury, was as follows :—The tube,
which is about ten or twelve inches long, is first emptied of the
meal powder, which is done by boys. The fusee is then
taken to a copper pan, and placed on an iron chisel, when it
is struck with a copper knife by means of a wooden mallet,
the fusee is thus cleft open, and the composition falls into a
pan prepared for that purpose. The question before the jury was,
at which end the fusee had been struck? because, if. it was
placed in an inverted position, a portion of the meal powder would
come in contact with the steel chisel, in which case there was
great danger of an explosion. This was the course generally
pursued, but Lieutenant Oldfleld, who was accidentally in the
shed a few minutes before the explosion, swore distinctly that he
observed the men break the fumes in both positions. The men, it
appeared, also worked in nailed boots. Two men who had just
quitted the shed experienced a very narrow escape, one man being
blown off a cart that was loading outside, the other being almost
stunned by the explosion. The jury, after a deliberation of nearly
an hour, at half-past twelve, delivered the following verdict
That the deceased were killed by the explosion of com-
bustible materials, but from what cause the explosion took place
there is no evidence to show." They also accompanied it with the
f,llowing note, which the Coroner read to Col. Cockburn, the head of
the department :—" That the jury in returning this verdict in the
case of John Crake, beg to state, that without imputing any want
of caution to the authorities in directing the mode of carrying
on the work which the deceased was engaged in, at the
same time submit for their consideration the propriety of discon-
tinuing the use of the steel chisel, and adopting, as formerly, the
copper knife ; and also, that the men ought not to be allowed to
work at such employment in nailed shoes or boots."
Col. Cockburn said, he intended in fixture to extract the saltpetre
by means of water, so as to avoid all chance of danger.

The Anti-Slavery Society has issued a very small publica-

tion, but one comprehending many facts of great importance,
entitled " Results of Emancipation in the British Colonies."
It will be read with delight by every friend of hu-
manity, and the people of this country who, even
before the experiment was made, never grudged the
amount, will now rejoice that 20,000,000/. were ex-
pended for such a purpose. This grant for a bene-
ficent object, for the relief of the oppressed, as well as an
inducement to secure kind treatment from their former
masters, has no parallel in the history of any state, and has
gained for these islands a character for generosity and
philanthropy which neither malice nor national anti-
pathies ever dare to gainsay. And while we p•aise
the British nation, it is only an act of justice to pay the same
tribute to the objects of its benevolence, who have shown
themselves worthy of the favour. In 1831, the West India
body issued a manifesto, in which they stated, that " the
speedy annihilation of slavery would be attended with the
devastation of the West India colonies—with loss of lives and
property to the white inhabitants—with inevitable distress and
misery to the black population—and with a fatal shock to the
commercial credit of the empire." To show how the prophecy has
failed, we quote a paragraph from the pamphlet :—" In no
one particular has this sinister prediction been fulfilled. The
transition from slavery to freedom was most tranquil—not a
single proprietor or white man was injured, either in per-
son or property ; the emancipated slaves have derived the
greatest benefits from that act of justice ; the credit of
the West Indies is better now than during the exist-
ence of slavery ; and the commercial intercourse
between Great Britain and the Colonies, has been, in every
respect, improved by its abolition. Individuals may have
suffered, and may still be suffering from this great event; but

REGISTRATIONS.-(THIS DAY.)
CITY OF LONDON.

The question whether liverymen who had taken up their freedom
since the passing of the Reform Act, to which we referred on Monday,
was this day resumed. The whole of the forenoon was taken up by
technical arguments respecting the construction of the Act of Par-
liament. At the termination of the Learned Gentlemen's addresses,
pro and eon.,
The REVISING BARRISTER intimated that as the decision was one
of some importance, he would take time to consider it, and give his
judgment on a future day.

the great mass of the population, the proprietors as well as
the labourers, have derived. the highest advantage from it.
The safety, and we may add the policy of emancipation
has been demonstrated." And Lord STANLEY, many years
after this great act of justice and mercy took
place, confirms the statement. "It will be found,"
said he, " that since the emancipation the negroes have been
thriving and contented ; that they have raised their manner
of living, and multiplied their comforts and enjoyments ; that
their offences against the laws have become more and more
light and unfrequent ; that their morals have unproved; that
marriage has been more and more substituted for concu-
binage ; and that they are eager for education, rapidly ad-
vancing in knowledge, and powerfully influenced by the mi-
nisters of religion." These are facts which cannot be dis-
puted, nor can the following picture of the precious results of
emancipation be denied:—
" The whip no longer sounds in their ears, as the stimulant to
labour and the instrument of torture ; the fetter no longer galls their
limbs ; the market-place no longer beholds them submitted for sale, in
lots to suit purchasers ; the anguish of forcible separation is no longer
felt or feared ; instruction is no longer interdicted ; the preaching of the
Gospel is no longer forbidden. Masters of their own persons and their
own labour, the emancipated slaves can now bestow it when and
where they please, as may best suit their taste, or serve their inte-
rests—the marriage-tie hallows and blesses their unions—the rela-
tions of parents and children exist, and cannot be severed by the
caprice or will of slave-masters—the chastity of woman can no longer
be violated with impunity, nor the hearts of mothers lacerated by
the base and degraded uses to which their offspring were devoted."

At the recent Congress at Rheins of the Scientific
Men of France M. Jullien de Paris presented Mr. Morgan's plan of a
Self-supporting Institution for 300 families. The observations of M.
Jullien de Paris, as well as the acknowledegment by the President,
the Archbishop; were received with loud applauses, and prove that
the condition of the people is exciting a great interest In that country
as well as in our own.
DEATH OF P. GREENALL, ESQ., M.P.--WIGAN,
SEPT. 18.—This highly respectable gentleman expired at half-past
one o'clock to-day, at his residence in St. Helen's. Mr. Greenall was
the Conservative Member for the borough of Wigan, to which he was
elected at the last genaral election in conjunction with Mr. T. B.
Crosse, of Shaw-hill, near Chorley, but wjio was unseated on peti-
tion. Mr. Greenall had once before, unsuccessfully, stood for Wlgan
in conjunction with the late John Hodson Kearsley, Esq. Mr.
Greenall was held in the highest estimation by all parties in this
neighbourhood of all politics, and his loss will be most severely felt in
his immediate neighbourhood, being the proprietor of very extensive
manufactories.
DRURY- LANE TUEATRE.—It is DOW officially an-
nounced that this theatre will be opened on Saturday, the 27th inst.
As before, under the present management, it will be devoted exclu-
sively to opera and ballet. The female vocalists will be Madame
Anna Thillon, Miss Romer, Miss Rainforth, Miss Poole, the cele-
brated, and yet unheard, 31ademoiselle Jenny Lind, and a debutante,
Miss Helen Lane. Mr. Allen is engaged as a tenor in addition to Mr.
W. Harrison, while the " bass and baritone" department gets a rein-
forcement by the engagement of Mr. 11. Phillips, who will appear in
addition to Messrs. Burdini, Borrani, and Weiss. At the head of the
ballet department stands the excellent danseuse Mademoiselle Adele
Dumilatre. Her name is fo,lowed by those of Mademoiselle Flora
Fehr!, a lady yet unknown to the English public, and the favourite
artist, Mademoiselle Plunkett. M. Schira is to be the conductor of
the orchestra. A new opera by Mr. Benedict, and another by Mr.
Wallace, are mentioned among the forthcoming novelties. Meyer-
beer's Camp of .Silesia, produced last year in Germany, is to be per-
formed ; and Mr. Bunn speaks in his programme of "pending trea-
ties" with MM. Scribe and Donizetti for a new grand opera. M. St.
Georges and M. Albert are to unite in the construction of a new
ballet called La Title de Marbre, with Adolphe Adam's music, and the
Parisian ballet Le Diable a quatre is to be performed. The pro-
gramme certainly indicates great spirit and enterprise, and the
manager seems to have engaged all the available talent for the pur,
poses to which he has devoted his theatre. A stronger company is,
we believe, at the present day, impossible.—Times.

RAILWAY COLLISION.—WAKEFIELD, rSEPT. 18.-
A collision took place yesterday at the Oakenshaw Station on the
31idland /tailway, but fortunately no serious injury to the pas-
sengers was sustained. The train from Leeds to Derby, which was
due at half-past 10 A. M., did not arrive until 20 minutes after its time,
and there being a great number of passengers going from Oakenshaw
to Swinton (Doncaster) station on account of the races, at least 20
minutes more elapsed without any immediate appearance of moving
on. At this moment the train from Hull came up, following on the
same line of rails, and dashed into the carriages of the Derby train.
Most providentially several of the other carriages of the Derby train
had been drawn back from the main body to admit of others being
placed intermediate. These carriages received the blow; but having
some space to be driven forward before they struck the other
portion of the train, the severity of the collision was ma-
terially checked. However, the shock in the carriages most re-
moved was severely felt. The Hull train, moreover, was slackening
its speed to stop at the station. Had it been the express instead of
the Hull train which was to follow shortly afterwards, and which
does not stop at Oakenshaw, but dashes through like a flash of
lightning, every soul must have perished. As it was, several persons
sustained severe cuts and bruises, and the greatest alarm was occa-
sioned to all. Prince George of Cambridge was in his own carriage,

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
_

There was a dull market for Cotton at Liverpool yester-
day, but previous quotations were obtained. Sales, about
7,000 bags, including 1,500 American, on speculation. The
market was very freely supplied.—A good business was done
in shares. _

At an early hour this morning the arrival off port of the
Severn steamer from the West Indies was announced, but
up to the present hour we have not had any letters or papers
delivered. There are some later accounts from Brazil, but
nothing of interest is to be noticed in them.
" A short and sure Guide to Railway speculation" has just
been published, a copy of which is before us, by Effingham
Wilson. The author says that operations in railway shares
are of three kinds—i. e:,—
" First. Purchases in the shares of lines already esta-
blished.
" Second. Purchases in the scrip of lines projected, or in the
course of construction.

" Third. Application for original shares in newly-pro-
jected lines."
For the information of the public, we may usefully quote
the following :
" Purchases of Scrip in projected or unfinished lines can
only be made with safety under good information and ad-
vice as to their immediate or ultimate prospects ; and
not even then unless the buyer is prepared to pay
the whole of the calls. For example, a single call of
5/. may have been made upon a 501. share, and it may be at
a premium of 2/. In buying 20 of these shares at 7L each
(Si. paid and 2/. premium), it is not sufficient to be able to
pay the 1401. which they would first cost ; the buyer must
also be prepared or see his way clearly) to pay the remain-
ing 9001. if necessary. Unless so prepared there is no safety
in railway speculation.
" A call may be made at a moment when prices have
fallen, and, if unprepared to pay it, the unfortunate holder
must sell, however great may be the sacrifice; but if his en-
gagements are not beyond his means of meeting them, he
has only to hold on steadily, and sooner or later (unless the
line was a mere bubble) he will have an opportunity
of selling at a profit. By adhering to this
one rule, the writer of these remarks (who is a
mere amateur in railway speculation) has during ten
years, never sold a single share at a loss. He has held
shares upon which he had paid 401. each, till they gradually
fell to 20/., and has sold them at last at 741. One of the best
times for purchasing in unfinished lines is when prices are
depressed, as they often will be, in consequence of previous
holders finding it inconvenient to pay their calls."
Consols for the Account have been quoted at 98% to-day,
and for Money at 984 %. The premium on Exchequer-
bills is 465. Not half a dozen bargains were quoted in the
English Funds to-day.
A slight demand has existed for the Equador Bonds to-
day, at an improvement to 4%. The quotations of the
Dutch Stocks were rather higher. The other Stocks are, fur
the most part, nominally given.
With very few exceptions, the Railway Share Market has
been firm to-day. As the fluctuations are given in the offi-
cial list, it is not necessary to refer further here.

DARING BURGLARY.---A daring burglary was
effected at Mr. Samuel Leaters, in Norfolk-street, Tottenham-court-
road,
yesterday morning,
&c.,
not discovered till the servant girl, on coming down stairs, found the
place in great confusion, arising from the burglars having ransacked
the different drawers and cupboards. They succeeded in taking away
a quantity of jewellery, between one and six o'clock. The fact was
17, silver forks, and spoons, a valuable gold
bottled stout from the larder. It appears that they effected their
helping themselves plentifully to bread and cheese and
entrance by cutting a piece out of the back yard door.
ACCIDENT FROM THE KICK OF A HORSE.—Yester-
day a waggoner named Kilburn, who was on the road from Ayles-
bury to London, whilst adjusting some portion of the harness of the
fore-horse the animal suddenly kicked out, his hoof striking the un-
fortunate man on the right leg, which was in consequence severely
fractured between the calf and ankle joints. The poor fellow was
assisted into the waggon, and in that truly horrible state was driven
into town and conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where the
limb was set.
On Friday evening Mr. R. Kemp suddenly expired
at the Jordan Baptist Chapel4ruro. A dispute arose about the mi-
nistry, in which the deceased took part. The excitement was too
great for him, he having suffered from a
,diseased heart, and caused
his Immediate death.—Bath Paper.
