endurance and:the exercise of manly patience he might
have overcome the sufferings under which he laboured;
but the poacher's vocation supplied him with a ready
means of subsistence, and he could not resist the
tempting opportunities which it throws in his way.
In a word, he fell a victim to the facilities which the
game-laws afforded him of becoming a rogue and
vagabond. Verily these laws are a disgrace to the
nineteenth century, and it will never be well with the
vast mass of the: labouring' population till they are
wholly and for ever erased from the statute-book.

The last news from Otaheite, though not destitute
of some features of novelty and interest, does not
present any aspects upon which we deem it expedient
at present, to offer any observations. But, though
further discussion may tend to prolong angry feelings
between the Governments of France and England,
it must not be anticipated that the violence which has
been offered by the French authorities to the native
Princess who has appealed to our protection, and the
insult which has been cast upon the dignity of the
British nationality by their injurious treatment of
Mr. PRITCHARD, will not very often be turned upon
the wrong-doers, in the shape of a self-recorded case
of political delinquency, which, like cases of moral
delinquency, is sure in the end to entail upon the
actors in it, its own punishment. Our present
purpose is simply to express an ardent hope that the
British Government, warned by the disastrous conse-
quences of such anomalous interventions in the affairs
of remote, and barbarous or semi-civilized countries,
as have signalised their shilly-shally, would-and-
would-not treatment of New Zealand and Otaheite,
will turn its most prompt attention to a general revi-
sion of the whole condition of those scattered settle-
ments, which it has but recently acknowledged by
specific acts of sovereignty, or which it still leaves to
the same ambiguous constructions of possessory or
non-possessory title, that in both hemispheres have
been of such fatal development. We take leave
rapidly to name a few, a very few, of these doubtful
or " no-men's" lands, as to which, if the principles
were to prevail that have been followed by all the other

maritime nations of Europe in scores of instances,

the title of our flag to paramount and primary
authority cannot be questioned, if it be specifically
and at once asserted. The exigencies of our com-
merce, and the political defences of our broken range
of transmarine and colonial dominion, make this
assertion an affair of momentous interest and in-
describable importance. The eighty or ninety years'
postponement of the boundary line between the
conterminous frontiers of British North America and
of the United States ;—the north-eastern and north-
western lines of demarcation—the rights over the
Oregon territory and the mouth of the Colombia
River—the New Zealand districts, over which the
title of aboriginal owners is not, and those over which
it is, alienated or defeased :—these suggest a few of
the more modern exemplifications of the luxury and
safety of undetermined rights, unascertained titles,
or unsurveyed possessions. 'We should like to know
in what condition and under what settlement the
lands, once the property of an African Association,
And afterwards transferred to this Government, now
are, on the Gold Coast ? Is there no conflict of
pretensions between ourselves and Holland, or Den-
mark, as to any portion of them ? Do the stipula-
tions of our treaties with the Sovereigns of Ashantee
and other neighbouring Powers expressly recognise
us in the possessions we virtually hold ? Are our
settlements on the Senegal Coast altogether aban-
doned ; or, if not, are they in private British hands ?
Have the pretensions of the French in the Portendic
affair been finally conceded, since Dr. LUSHINGTON
retired from the House of Commons to
the Admiralty tribune ? Do we retain any hold
on the valuable gum trade, of which it may not be
proposed, from a deficiency on our part of diplomatic
recognitions, some fine morning, by one of the two
French Chambers, to deprive us under the force of a
string of " resolutions," after the fashion of Mr.
President Trx,sa's management ? Has Portugal
been left without a loophole through which to rake us
in our possessions on the eastern and south-eastern
coast of Africa, where she still affects, in her political
decrepitude, to trace the footsteps of her more vigo-
rous youth of maritime enterprise and discovery ?
On the southern coasts of America, do we mean to
retain as Crown possessions, or do we intend to aban-
don, the Falkland Islands, whose ill-understood value
is a refitting and refreshment station for our navy
About 80 years since, nearly victimised us for the
purposes of Spain, practising on our ignorance
or our credulity, our apathy or our rash

pelago to allow Holland to affix the seal of pro

,cription, stamped by our own unaccountable acqui

~scence in her crafty policy, on that decree of virtua

?xclusion by which she has so far succeeded in shut-
ting us from the richest markets in the Eastern
World, after all that our courage, capital, and ad-

venture had opened and accomplished in these lati.
tudQs during the last three centuries ? We shall re•

turn to this subject on the occasion of entering into
some examination as to the operation of our existing
treaty with the Netherlands' Government, of the
year 1824. We believe it to be a subject that, if not
easonably entertained, will be forced on the attention

that the monarchical and representative system is the
'personification of perfection. Men have been found
to bend the knee before the constitutional fiction which
elevates the royal person above the sphere of parties,
which raises it over every ambition, and which ren-
ders it infallible, because its action is never felt. But
we find from the Ministerial journals, that a number
of Conservatives voted for M. BILLAULT because they
imagined they would please the KING by so doing. It
follows, therefore, that the Chamber, far from being
independent of royalty, is at its orders."
The discussion on the Address was to commence in
Committee, it was understood, on Monday. M.
Gun(); Marshal SOULT, and Admiral MACICAU,
would attend the Committee to reply to questions
and furnish documents. The debate in the Chamber
will commence about the middle of next week.

The Presse has an article on the probable result to
France of the trade with China, which, as will be
seen from the following extract, is not considered
favourable :

" The information furnished by the Special Commis-
sioners sent to China, as to the probability of finding
markets for our produce, is not of a nature to justify the
hopes of the French merchants. The monopoly of the
most important articles of manufacture appears to be
secured to the Eng.ish and the Americans, with whom it
will be difficult to contend in the supply of white and
unbleached calicoes. The exportation of muslins and
cambrics has been tried by the English, but has not suc-
ceeded. Our woollens might find a better chance of suc-
cess, but even that is not certain, because the Chinese
prefer cotton, which they wear single in summer and
wadded in winter. The Russians, moreover, have mo-
nopolized the Chinese markets for cloth. Our printed
calicoes might perhaps find a market if our manufactu-
rers could reduce their price. Until the present mo-
ment the Swiss have been in possession of the markets
for that article. In the year 1843, the Americans ex=
ported 1,000,000 pieces of unbleached cotton. That
amount was nearly doubled in the year 1844. In April
last the warehouses in the interior of Canton were over-
loaded with British and American manufactures. We
may conclude from the information received that the Go-
vernment does net expect much advantage from the ex-
pensive expedition sent to China. Thus are confirmed
the doubts we expressed on the departure of M. La-
gren4o."

THIS DAY'S NEWS

SHERRIFFS' COURT-(THIS DAY

BRETTON AND ANOTHER, V. FENTON.
This action was brought to recover the sum of 161. 165.,
for goods sold and delivered by the plaintiffs to defen-
dant under the following circumstances.
In the course of November, 1844, the defendant or-
dered of a person of the name of Jackson, one of the
present plaintiffs, a number of dining-room chairs, which
were to be delivered to defendant on the 13th of the
same month. The plaintiff Jackson desired the other
plaintiff, Bretton, to make these uhairs, and to deliver
them to the defendant on that day. On the plaintiff
Bretton taking them to defendant's house, however, he
(defendant) refused to pay for them, on the ground that
it was from Mr. Jackson, and not from Mr. Bretton he
had ordered them.

Defendant pleaded that he was not indebted, and it
having been proved that the goods were ordered of the
plaintiff Jackson, and not of the plaintiff Bretton, the
jury, without retiring, found a verdict fur the defendant.
The Court rase shortly after ono o'clock.
CRIMI

NAL COURT.—(THIS DAY)
OLD COURT.
(Before the I?moaDER.)
William Hunt, who our readers will recollect surren-
dered to his bail yesterday, was this morning again
placed at the bar. The prisoner, it will be remembered,
was charged, upon two indictments, with having, on the
12th of March last, at the parish of St. Paul, Shadwell,
forged an undertaking for the payment of the sum of
1,7391. 10s., with intent to defraud Thomas Rogers. In
a second count of the indictment, the prisoner was
charged with uttering and putting forth the under-
taking, well knowing it to be forged. The pri-
soner was also charged, upon a second indictment,
with forging an undertaking_ for the payment of
400 L, with intent to defraud Thomas Rogers. OR the
prisoner surrendering yesterday to his bail, upon the ap-
plication of his counsel, the case was postponed to this
morning, the counsel for the prosecution stating that it
was uncertain whether they would be prepared to pro-
ceed with the prosecution. On the prisoner being placed
at the bar this morning, the case was postponed till next
session, in consequence of the injury received by one of
the witnesses last Friday by a kick of a horse, render-
ing it impossible for him to attend the court.

The other cases that came before the Court during the
morning were totally unworthy of any special report.

E IV COURT.

' (Before the COMMON-SERGEANT and Alderman Sir C.
MARSHALL, &c.)
Ann Harley, a middle-aged female, was charged with
feloniously receiving, and in another count with steal-
, ing, eight pair of shoes and four pair of bouts from car-
, tam premises.
The evidence showed that the house in question bad
been locked at three o'clock in the afternoon, and that it
was broken open, and property stolen from it, before
the hour of eight. The prisoner was observed coming
from that direction and carrying a bundle. She was de-
tained, and the boots and shoes charged in the indict-
ment found her. She stated that the property was her
own, and had been brought from home.
Mr. PsyNE, in a very ingenious defence, contended
that as the prisoner had been committed from Clerken-
w ell Police-court for the felonious receipt, it was alto-
gether unfair to insert the other count as an after-
thought, and in these circumstances he prayed the jury
to dismiss it altogether from their thoughts. There had
not been a tittle of evidence adduced to prove the
charge, and therefore he considered that the prisoner
should be discharged.
The COMMON SERGEANT, after examining the indict-
ment, said there was:Bo pretence whatever for the charge
of feloniously receiving. He did not say that the prisoner
might not have been assisting to rob the premises, but
it was natural to infer that the person upon whom the
stolen property was found wus the person most likely to
have done so, but that under the circumstances he
would leave it to the jury.
The jury found her Not Guilty.
Catherine Driscoll was charged with feloniously steal-
ing from Henry Ilubbock, a sailor, the sum of 6s. 6d.
The sailor had got drunk, and the prisoner, to use
his own phrase, "had towed his hulk into port," and
there robbed him of the sum in question.
The case was clearly proved, and the young lady,
who bore not the most estimable of chaiacter,, was
transported for ten years.
Several cases of petty larcenies were then disposed of.
Elizabeth Witfins was charged with unlawfully dis-
posing of the body of her dead child.
The prisoner had been an in-patient of St. George's
Hospital, and under treatment for a diseased limb. On
the 3d December the body of a deceased child was found
in a box by her bed-side, and it was discovered that she
was the mother. No evidence was adduced to show that
the child had been born alive.
The Learned Counsel for the defence contended that
there was no evidence to prove that there was any inten-
tion of permanently concealing the body of the infant.
The box was an open one ; it was close beside her bed,
and therefore the most natural course for the prisoner
under these circumstances was, to place the body where
it had afterwards been fuund. There was nothing cri-
minal in this; and he trusted, therefore that the jury
would discharge her from her present painful position.
—Not Guilty.
Sarah Seville was similarly charged, and also dis-
charged.

LAMBETH.—(THIS DAY.)
George Prince, a bone•collector, Catherine Waley, and
Mary Junes, described as residing in North-street, Lock's-
fields, were charged with coining.
Police-constable, P 28, stated that from information
which he received, he went yesterday evening to the
prisoners' lodgings, which was in a small back room in
North-street. On going up stairs he suddenly opened
the door, and saw the male prisoner with some coia in
his hand, which he attempted to place in his pocket, but
which the officers prevented, and the prisoner was secures.
On searching the fire-place the officers found some coin-
ing implements. The male prisoner said, " Aye, you
have found all you will find, which, I suppose, is suffi-
cient for your purpose." The prisoner Waley said that
she had only just come in, and had nothing to do with
the coining implements.
Mr. lIENny ordered the two female prisoners to be
removed from the Court, and asked the male prisoner
what he had to say to the charge ?—The male prisoner
(Prince) said Waley had nothing to do with it, and that
lie found the implements en a dunghill at Lock's-fields.
The two females, on being again brought into Court,
were asked if they wished to say anything, but they
declined.

Mr. IlEsnr asked if the police knew anything abou
the prisoners 7—The officers said the whole of the pri.
soners were well-known characters.
Mr. HENRY said the prisoners must be remanded unti,
Saturday.

SOUTHWARK.—(THIS DAY.)
William Mariner, a weather-beaten old tar, was
charged with being found lying drunk in the public street.
The defendant received his pension on the previous
day at the l'ay-office, on Tower •hill, and afterwards be-
came so intoxicated that he fell down, and was found
lying on the pavement insensible, and his pockets turned
inside out, having been plundered of the whole of his
quarter's pension.
The defendant's account was that ho had been robbed
of nearly all his money, but still he had a " shot left in
the locker."
The policeman said he had not a farthing about him
when he was searched.
Defendant (giving his trowsers a hitch)-oh, yes, I
" bolted a sovereign when I found the land sharks'
about me, and I expect that I shall have it safe and
sound by and-by."—(Laughter.)
Mr. TRAILL discharged him, remarking that he hoped
he would discover the sovereign be had swallowed
without sustaining any
injury from such an experiment.

has succeeded in the conversion of peat into coal within

Gazette.

BECCLES.—OPENING OF THE CORN EXCHANGE.---
Our market-place, " which centres in a spacious area,"
presented a deserted scene on Saturday last, in conse-
quence of the announcement of opening the Corn Ex-
change having been publicly made known. This neat
and commodious building, we are happy in stating,
was at four o'clock well filled with merchants, traders,
and farmers, connected not only with our own town,
but others from Bungav, Ilalesworth, Lowestoft,
&c., lent their aid in the stirring business of the day.
We believe we are right in stating that each stand was
engaged by two occupiers, thus proving the desire-
ableness of this long wished for and excellent improve-
ment. The projectors will thus see a prospect of being
amply repaid for their spirited speculation. The borough
band attended and played the National Anthem at the
commencement, with many favourite airs. This build-
ing, which has a noble external appearance, is equal in
length to our well known and spacious Assembly-room,
and considerably wider and larger ; bronze gas chande-
liers are introduced, and when the appropriate furniture,
ornaments, &c., are finished, it will vie with any similar
public edifice in the county. Perhaps at no former
period has there been more corn exported from our town
than at this period.—lpswich Express.
TILE GAME NUISANCE.—" The mercenary spirit
engendered by legalising the sale of game, has reduced
our English country gentlemen to the condition of poul-
terers. —Duke of Pentland. His Grace might also
very justly have added, that many of our English country
gentry have, by this game mania, reduced themselves to
legalised poachers. Poaching is odious, but the system
pursued by very many of our noblemen and gentlemen
is equally odious. The Act of Parliament passed for
legalising the sale of game was to enable such of the
aristocracy to become " poulterers " as were mean
enough to take up the trade, for nothihg less time a
trade is made of surplus game, and that, too, at the cost
of the farmers.

It is achnitted, in all circles connected with the ship-
ping interests of the country, that the guano trade has
been a most seasonable source of employment for no
inconsiderable portion of the vessels of various ports
which prevously were lying idle. London, Liverpool,
Bristol, Dundee, Hull, &c., have all participated in this
comparatively new branch of industry and enterprise.
As respects Hull, the circular quoted yesterday has
' on the subject of the guano trade the following re-
marks :—" In the past year, being the first in which
direct imports have occurred at this port, the supplies
amount to about 4,000 tons. The trade, contrary to what
might have been expected from the known enterprise of
the agriculturists in this part of the country, and the ex-
tent to which every description of foreign manures is
used, has not yet assumed that importance here that it
has at some of the other leading ports. Still, however,
its consumption is on the increase, and it probably only
wants a season favourable for its application (which the
last, from the long drought) was not, to cause it to be
otttensively consumed." The stocks in the port may be
calculated at about 1,200 tons. The price, which in the
spring was as high as 104 per ton, has since the com-
mencement of the direct import, varied from Si. to 71.
per ton, the present quotation being 6/ to 7/. per ton.
There are accounts in the City this morning from the
Mauritius to the 15th October. Money is described as
being very scarce, the Banks having been rather dis-
posed to contract than to expand their issues. There is
not any other news of moment from this or other colo-
nial possessions of the Crown to-day.
The meeting of the holders of shares in the Colonial
Bank, held this afternoon, was, on the whole, considered
as a favourable one. The expose of the Directors as to
its affairs, compared with previous reports given by the
Court of Directors, is more satisfactory. Heavy losses
by failures, and the large robbery (12,3501.), have,
for the last two or three years, cramped
the operations of the banks connected with
the Corporation in the West India Colonies ;
nor for the present is there any very sanguine expecta-
tion entertained that things, as respecting the Bank's pro-
fits, will materially mend, trade being represented in
the accounts received yesterday by the steamer as dull,
though the crops looked well.
Tne Funds have been again somewhat drooping, as
there are sales made in the Three per Cents. by holders
who have only waited to take their dividends. Consols
