AUSTRALIAN AGRICULTURAL
COMPANY.

The annual meeting of this Company was held 3-cster-
day at•ono o'clOck, at the•• King's Arms-yard. •
Mr. Br.owNnico,.the Chairman of the Board of Direc-
tors, said that he would not delay the meeting by making
any preiatory ob,:ervations, but would, in tho, first in-
stance, read the report, and would then be happy to give
any explanation that any Proprietor might require, anp
which it was in his power to give.
The report was then read, from which it appeared
that there were grounds to hope for returning prosperity,
and that the colony was emerging from the extreme
state of depression under which it had been lately
suffering. The report then went on to state the circum-
stances of the Company with regard to their stock of
various kinds in the colony.
The CHAIRMAN tl.en said that there was a surplus of
5,5821. after the expenses were paid, which had during
the last year been considerably diminished, and from
this, and the small surplus which remained last year,
it was proposed to declare a dividend of los., or 21- per
cent., on the paid-up capital, which would be paid on
Wednesday, the sth of February next.
The dividend was declared, and the report adopted.
It was then proposed and seconded, that R. W. Blaine,
Esq., be appointed Deputy-Governor in the room of W.
Brown, Esq., deceased.
John Lock, Esq., W. S. Dawson, Esq., and J. Hodgson,
Esq., the outgoing Directors, were re-elected.
G. W. Thornton, Barclay, Esq., Knox, Esq.,
and Abel Smith, Esq., were appointed auditors.
A vote of thanks was then passed to the Directors,
for which the Chairman returned thanks, and the meet-
ing then separated.

scriptions. The stock is diminishing; prices are firm,

chests remain for sale to morrow.

North American, 441 casks of Sydney, 83 of Cape, and
50 casks of St. Petersburgh Tallow will be offered at
auction. There has been a good demand for Russian

consequence of holders being willing sellers, and accept-
ing 39s 3d to 40s for P Y Candle of first, and 38s 6d to

Fish Oils a further decline in the value
has occurred. Southern is little wanted, and a public sale

cent at 265, 104 to 11 per cent common grey 255; a few
lots were sold 6d per cwt cheaper ; low white 121 per

NEW BRITISH IRON COMPANY.
The general meeting of the Proprietors of the
New British Iron Company was held yesterday at
the offices, New Broad-street, Mr. W. Routh in
the chair.

Mr. W. SMITH, the Secretary, having read the
notice of the present, and the minutes of the last
meeting,
The CHAIRMAN said they were called together in
conformity with their deed of settlement, which re-
quired their accounts to be made up on the 30th of
September, and that their general meeting should be
held between the Ist of January and the 20th of
February. It would be scarcely necessary for him
to add anything to the report that would be laid
before them; the state of trade during the past year
had been rather of a chequered character, but on the
whole tending towards improvement ; the result had
been, that instead of subjecting the Proprietors to a
loss, as under the old Company, there had been some-
thing like a profit. He also had to congratulate the
Proprietors on the improved prosperity of business
for the ensuing year. He then read the
report, which stated the balance in favour
of the Company to be 8,0501. 19s. 2d. ; from
this, there is to be deducted the interest of deben-
tures and other expenses, leaving 3,9611. ss. 6d., out
of which the Provisional Committee recommended a
dividend on the paid-up capital of the Company,
equal to the interest paid on debentures, 4 per cent. ;
and a sum of 9611.55. 6d. to be carried forward to the
next year. The Committee had great pleasure in
congratulating the Proprietors on the decided im-
provement that had lately taken place in the trade; as
the demand was legitimate and not speculative, the
improvement was likely to be permanent. The pre-
sent weekly " make " of the Company was stated to
be nearly 1,000 tons of iron, and was likely to be
considerably exceeded. As the functions of the Pro-
visional Committee now expired, it became necessary
to appoint twelve Directors. The parties forming
the Provisional Committee would, with a few excep-
tions, be proposed to them as Directors.
The report was then received and approved, and a
resolution, declaring a dividend of 3s. per share, was
carried unanimously, after a short discussion.
The following gentlemen were then proposed, and
declared duly elected to fill the office of Directors of
the Company :—Mr. G. P. Barclay, Mr. Brownrigg,
M.P., Mr. D. B. Chapman, Mr. M. Harrison, Mr. J.
Hoare, Mr. C. Kerr, Mr. J. Horsley Palmer, Mr.
J. J. H. Ravenshaw, Mr. Samson Ricardo, Mr. W.
Routh, Mr. J. Abel Smith, and Mr. Alex. Wilson.
The following gentlemen were elected as auditors:
—Mr. Ricardo, Mr. J. Bruce, Mr. S. Smith.
The CMAIRMAN returned thanks on behalf of him-
self and his brother Directors, and the proceedings
terminated.

POST - OFFICE ItonnEßY.—Yesterday, William
Daley, a letter-carrier, employed on the Islington
district, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Jardine,
charged with stealing a letter, containing a 51. Bank
of England note, and 30s. in gold, the property of the
Postmaster-General.

KILLING NO MURDER.
(From the Church and State Gazette.)
By the publication of the pamphlet so named, the
hardy usurper of the Government of England is
known to have been frightened to death. The lite-
rary ammunition of the French Jesuits has worked
an infinitely worse fate upon M. Villemain, the
late Minister of Instruction. It has robbed him of
his reason. His sallow, grimly-smiling foes may re-
joice that they have for ever crippled one of the stout-
est, and, withal, one of the fairest opponents that their
superstition had ever encountered, or had to contend
with in France generally; and since the pending
struggle between the University and the Government
in particular.
Our readers are aware that this struggle is for the
management of the education of the people. The
clergy wish it to be entirely surrendered to the
Jesuits ; the University claims a certain share for
itself; but it is willing to allow a freedom of choice,
and to leave to parents the liberty of educating their
children as may seem most fit to them. The Jesuits
will have everything or nothing—and they charge
the University with teaching infidelity. The latter
stand firm by their more moderate pretensions, deny
the charge of infidelity, and fling in their accusers'
teeth the accusation of falsifying religion, exalting
superstition, and teaching a lie. Both sides have some
foundation for their respective charges, and therefore
we contemplate either party but with indifferent in-
terest; and we should probably have left them to con-
tinue, unnoticed, their internecine war, but for the
record we have to make of the fall, on the side of the
University, of the most honest man in the two con-
tending factions. We regret to hear that there are no
hopes of his recovery.
M. Villemain, though what is called a good Ro-
manist, was nevertheless, as we have said, a bitter foe
of that ultra-party in his Church which is striving to
revive a new superstition, and to give life and power
to a long syncopized tyranny. This party, in spite
of the decree of banishment fulminated against them
in 1830, not only have settlements in France, but
have been quietly allowed by their ecclesiastical su-
periors to assume the direction of the theological in-
struction throughout the kingdom. In endeavouring
to add to this the uncontrolled direction of general
education, they have well nigh made shipwreck of
their projects ; but they may be said to have sold their
disgraces dearly by the destruction of such an enemy,
as they found ever active and daring before them, in
the person of M. Villemain.
This gentleman had reason to think that his life
was in danger; and, though his suspicions were ridi-
culed, and his fears laughed at, yet the excitement
caused by the proofs which he held of the good foun-
dation for his fears, added to that arising from intense
application to the duties of his office, and to domestic
trials of an unusually 'grievous nature, became too
much for his strength, he sank into " turbulent and
dangerous lunacy, and became a fearful spectacle
to men,

Air. Peacock, jun., conducted the prosecution.
Mr. John Brooks Johnstone, a clerk in the -Royal
Exchange Insurance Office, Lombard-street, stated,
at Christmas, 1835, there was a policy of insurance
effected for furniture, to the amount of 1001., in the
name of the prisoner, the address being 15, Regent's-
terrace, near Regent's Canal, White Conduit-fields,
Islington, in the county of Middlesex, the annual
charge upon which is Gs. On the 30th of December
some person paid the insurance with the Si. Bank of
England note produced, and he gave him the change.
Mathew Peak, a constable, employed at the Po-it-
office, said he was present in the solicitor's office when
the prisoner was brought in, and, being asked where
he lived, he said he had resided in the same house
during the last eleven years, at a rent of 211. an-
nually ; that he paid the taxes, and had insured his
furniture at the Royal Exchange Insurance Office for
1001., the charge for which was six shillings annually.
On being asked who had made the last payment, he
replied he had done so; then, as if recollecting him-
self, he said, " Oh, there is some mistake about that
payment, for I received a notice after Christmas,
stating that the insurance would be due, but in a few
days after I missed it." He then said he had spoken
to Mr. Wood, the change-taker at the Islington post-
office, about it, adding, he did not know what he
should do without it, and that Mr. Wood advised him
to take the number from the policy and to go to the
insurance-office, which would answer the same pur-
pose, which he did, and to his great surprise he found
the money had been paid by some person. In a few
days after he received a receipt for six shillings in a
letter, through the Post-office, which he showed to Mr.
`Wood and other persons atlslington. He was then told
that a Si. note was used in the payment at the insur-
ance-office, which was sent in a letter on the 27th De-
cember by post from Dewsbury, addressed to N 0.14,
Upper Bransby-street, Liverpool-road, Islington, and
he replied that he did not know who had paid the
policy for him. He then said, " Can I see the gen-
tleman ?" and being questioned what gentleman, and
for what he wanted him, he said, " The gentleman
who lost the money, and I would pay him the money
if I should pledge my bed." Witness then went to
prisoner's house, and on making a search found the
tile produced on the top of a hat-case in the front
parlour, on which was the receipt for six shillings.
Mr. Peacock said he was not prepared with evidence
to carry the C. 183 any further for the present, and the
prisoner was accordingly remanded.
PISTOL PRACTICE AT A PICTURE.—A young man,
described as a surgeon, named Edward Stanley, was
charged with wilfully destroying a picture by firing a
loaded pistol at it in the Artichoke public-house, in
White Hart-street, Drury-lane, the property of Mr.
W. Clark, the landlord.

It appeared from the statement of the complainant's
son, that about eight o'clock on Monday evening the
defendant came into the parlour and called for gin,
and water, with which he was served by the waiter,
but he had not been long in the room before the re-
port of a pistol was heard, which caused great alarm,
and on witness entering the room he observed the
defendant reloading the pistol with a bullet, and upon
remonstrating with him, he said he would do as he
thought proper, which alarmed the witness to such a
degree that he ran out of the place, and directly after
he heard the second report. Witness then rushed
into the room, and on calling the defendant to account
for such conduct, he said it was no harm, but on look-
ing round the room he saw that the picture against
the wall had been penetrated by the ball. The defendant
said it was all right, at the same time refusing either
to pay for the damage or give up the pistol. The picture
was worth about a sovereign ; it had been in the house
for upwards of forty years, and the only reason given
by the defendant for such conduct was that he had
been to Smith's shooting-gallery in Holborn, where
he was insulted. The first discharge was without a
bullet, but the second was near doing serious injury.
The defendant had frequented the house for a consi-
derable time, and he never knew him guilty of any
disorder before the present occasion.
In answer to the charge, the defendant said he had
dined with a friend, and took more than he could well
bear, and, as he was extremely sorry for the occur-
rence, he would willingly pay for any damage he
might have done.
Mr. JARDINE said he could scarcely treat the of-
fence as wilful damage, and, as a loaded pistol had
been discharged, the defendant's friends should have
come forward with a view to have bail taken for his
future good conduct.

In the course of the day the defendant's landlady
attended, and in consequence of the good account she
gave of the defendant, and his expressing his regret
for what had happened, he was mulcted in the sum of
205., which he instantly paid, and was discharged.

" Who saw his nob'e and most sovereign reason,
Like sweet bells jangled, out of tune, and harsh."

The cry of his enemies at this spectacle is something
like in words, as it is in sincerity, to the speech of the
royal assassin to the ghost of the victim whose death
he had compassed rather than executed. " Thou
can'st not say that we did it !" is their sullen shout of
defiance, when the eye of an accusing man falls upon
them. Neither do the public, nor do we, charge
them with the crime, directly. But that they have
been the remote cause of so terrible a result is as
clear as it is incontestable. And not so remote
either. We need not go so far back as the age
of Clement and Ravaillac to show that the
Jesuits teach, encourage, and reward public and
private assassination. We need not refer to the
accusing " Provinciales" of Pascal ; nor to the
theory of the duty Of manslaughter inculcated by
Mariana ; nor to any, even modern revelations, of
the past deeds of a society so " damned to everlasting
fame." The sensitive mind of M. Villemain would
probably have been but slightly affected by these
things, but that he was aware that the class books of
the Jesuits, published ,for the instruction of the
young of our own day, inculcate principles subver-
sive of all good, and show how murder may be not
only expedient, but moral.
For our own parts we desire to have nothing fur-
ther to do with the question, than to show that that
order of men, for whose lawful'and public appearance•
in the field of Irish agitation Mr. O'Connell is so
anxious, and even " his Grace, my Reverend Lord"
Dr. Murray is scarcely less so, are at thi4 hour teach.
ing that the commission of crime may be a virtue, and
that things condemned of God may be legalised in the
immoral code of man.

APPALLING MURDER AT
BETHNAL-GREEN.
Yesterday an intense degree of excitement prevailed
in the neighbourhood of Bethnal-green, in consequence
of a rumour that a young, woman named Emma
Whiter, twenty-one years of age, had been shot dead
with a pistol, by a young man named James Tapping,
who had for some time past been paying her his ad-
dresses; and from an early hour in the morning the
vicinity of Worship-street Police- court, at which the
case was expected to undergo investigation, was
densely thronged with persons of both sexes, anxious
to catch a glimpse of the suspected murderer.
Shortly before one o'clock the accused was brought
to that Court in a cab, in the custody of Sergeants
Shaw and Backhouse, of the K division, and was
placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham to answer the
charge. The prisoner, who is a remarkably fine-
made young man, about twenty-three years of age,
upon entering the dock, which he did with' a firm
step, looked around him with a placid expression of
countenance, and did not appear at all affected by the
critical position in which he was placed.
The following witnesses were then called and ex-
amined in support of the charge :
Thomas Auvache, a weaver, living in Manchester-
street, Waterloo-town, Bethnal-green, stated that at a
quarter before one o'clock that morning he was pass-
ing down a turning leading from Sebright-street to
South Conduit-street, Bethnal-green, in company
with a friend of his named Harvey, when he observed
a smouldering fire, resembling lighted tinder, at the
foot of a brick wall belonging to one of the houses.
He instantly proceeded to the spot, when he dis
covered a young woman lying on her left side with
her head resting against the wall. On looking closely
at her, he observed that her face and person were
deluged with blood, which was flowing copiously from
a wound in her neck, and she had every appearance of
being lifeless. Witness raised her from the ground
and supported her in his arms, while Mr. Harvey ran
to the top of the street, at which two young men were
standing, 0 entreat their assistance for the dying
woman. Witness then placed his hands beneath the
arms of the young woman to further raise her, when
he distinctly felt her heart beat, or rather heave, as
though she were in convulsions; the heaving ceased,
and she dropped her head in a state of insensibility
upon the witness's shoulder, and although he thought
he saw her once open her eyes, she did not utter a
word, and on the return of Mr. Harvey, they together
carried her beneath a gaslamp, the part of the street
where she was found being very dark, that they
might have greater facility for rendering her assist-
ance. A policeman having now arrived and looked at
the injured woman, he instantly pronounced her to
be dead, and she was as quickly as possible conveyed
to the Duke of Gloucester public-house adjoining,
where a shutter was procured, on which she was re-
moved to the London Hospital. In answer to a
question from the magistrate, the witness added, that
the smouldering fire he observed when his attention
was first attracted to the deceased was one of the poor
creature's bonnet-strings burning like a slow-match.
Sergeant Backhouse, 37 K, examined the spot
where the young woman had been found by the first
witness, and discovered a large pool of blood extend-
ing three yards in length down the pavement, in the
midst of which he found a woman's patten, about
eight or nine inches further on another patten, and
about twelve inches beyond that a large-sized and
well-finished pocket-pistol, with percussion lock, the
hammer of which was down, and which had evidently
been but very recently discharged, as it smelt very
strongly of powder. About half-past two in the
morning witness first saw the prisoner in the police-
station. He had then on over the dress he now wore
a white apron, upon the right side of which Sergeant
Shaw and the witness observed several spots of blood.
On being called upon to furnish an explanation of
these appearances, the prisoner replied, " Oh, I didn't
know there were any spots of blood upon it, and if
there are, I can't account for them." [The witness
here produced the pistol, the two pattens, and the
prisoner's apron. The former was such as the witness
had described it—somewhat large for the pocket, and
next in size to a duelling-pistol. The latter was an
ordinary workman's apron, and the spots of blood
spoken of were plainly visible upon it.]
Sergeant Shaw stated, that he had that morning
been at the London Hospital, where he had seen the
dead body of the young womon. On exa.nining the
upper portion of her person, he observed in the throat
a small hole, which was perfectly black in appear-
ance, and manifestly caused by the perforation of a
bullet, which must have been discharged into the
deceased's neck from the side, as it had completely
cut through the jugular vein. There was no cor-
responding orifice on the other side of the deceased's
throat, and from that circumstance the witness con-
sidered
it evident that the ball must be still lodged
either ih the young wowan'a throat or head,

To do this, we-need only state that we have seen
passages quoted from a work which will amply estab-
lish all that we have advanced. This work is entitled
"Institutiones Philosophicae ad usum Collegiorum et
Seminariorum ; Auctore J. B. Bourier, Episcop6
Cenoinanensi. Sexta Editio. Parisiis, 1841."
We only request our readers to observe the
date of this book, the episcopal authority
under which it is given to the world, and
the establishments for which it has been expressly
composed. Then let therifremember that Louis Phi-
lippe is looked upon by thd'Jesuits as an usurper, and
Henri of Bordeaux as their lawful Prince ; and, with
this memory upon them, let them read the following
passage without indignation, if they can :
"Faithful subjects are bound to obey their legiti-
mate prince" (the -Due de Bordeaux ?) "as far as
he demands their obedience and thinks it useful ; for
they are not, by the mere fact of usurpation, loosed
from their oath of allegiance. At the voice of the
lawful prince" (aforesaid) "they ought to take arms
against the usurper" (Louis Philippe ?), "battle
with him, conquer, and expel him, if they can. And
more, they ought to put him to death privately (or)
as a public malefactor, if the lawful prince expressly
orders it."

Such is a single passage ; and, as if it were not
sufficiently explicit in making murder easy to the
meanest capacities, an author, under the soubriquet of
" Un Solitaire," writes a commentary upon a3sassina-
tion ; recommending the theory as one palatable to all
men, though some may hypocritically deny it ; and
advertises his " Killing no Murder," on the church
doors of the French metropolis

We have seen passages of even greater atrocity than
the above, cited in foreign as well as in English publi-
cations. But we forbear to reproduce them here, in
the hope of having leisure to consult the original
works, and to be enabled to show from them that the
