own, and within his own jurisdiction. Does
Captain FITZROY imagine that his own private im-
promptu impression that they had been " hurried"
into this slaughter by the " miss!, 3nduct" of their
victims can purge them of their legi ►1 guilt (on that
assumption), or relieve them from the it respomibility
to the just demands of civil genettnment ? If the
settlers are not guilty to the extent which. he has
been pleased to assume, RAITI'ARANIA and his party
must have been guilty in a far higher derzree than
they are even charged to be. If RAI7PAIIA HA and his
party were really instigated by excessive-provocations
on the part of the settlers, it is necessary, not alone in
justice to their reputation among the European
settlers in general, but for their protectic al from the
bloody feuds and retaliations which the descendants
of the latter may otherwise be expected to maintain
against themselves and their successors for long years
to come, that this misconduct on the part of its;two-
and-twenty victims should be clearly established in
the face, and under the solemn forms of our legal
tribunals. Retribution on the one hand, for expurga-
tion on the other, is implicitly demanded ; and we
cannot doubt that the British Parliament will grant a
Committee of Inquiry, or recommend Fame other
efficient form of proceeding, with a, view to
satisfy the great expectations of British subjects as to
the results of this melancholy affair.
The other intelligence from New Zealand is of a
much more agreeable nature. It regards the rapid
improvements effecting in the culture, preparation,
and manufacture of the PHORMIUM TENAX. Now
that the colonists have got into the way of erecting
machinery adequate to split the fibres of this ad-
mirable "New Zealand flax" without breaking them,
and to cleanse the material or fabric frorm the husk or
skin, we have no manner of doubt that some three or
four years will suffice to give our countrymen in
New Zealand the full advantage of supplying the
home market hero (the largest in the world) with this
commodity, so invaluable as a military and naval
store, as well as a commercial commodity of higher
quality and better texture than that for which we pay
annually such vast sums to Russia and other northern
States. Yet, until a very recent period, notwith-
standing that repeated experiments had shown the
superior properties of New Zealand flax (second
only to those of the Manilla article), when no
marred by the muscle-shell scraping, and filthy pre.
paration of the native makers; no direct encou

is characterised by justness of reasoning, and man-
liness and liberality of sentiment. On the important
subject of the corn-laws, the Noble Marquis
thus expresses himself :—" He did not under-
stand how any Minister who thought it right to
introduce into his policy free trade at all ; he did
not know how that Minister could make corn an ex-
ception. In order to prepare for a change he would
implore his tenantry to go on cultivating the soil on
which their existence depended. They had seen,
during the last twenty years, many changes ; they
had seen the Minister, by the force of circumstances,
and by the pressure from without, obliged to follow
out a course of policy which it was contrary to his
mind to pursue ; and having seen that, he could not
sit down without impressing them with the fact that
similar things might take place with regard to the
corn-laws. He wished them to bear in mind that,
when everything else was free, they could not expect
that corn alone would be an exception." This is a
remarkable declaration, considering the quarter whence
it emanates. The speaker evidently anticipates the
abolition of the corn-laws at no distant period, and,
impressed with this c.,nviction, he exhorts his
tenantry to secure a snug shelter for themselves
against the inevitable day when the roof-tree of
Monopoly shall fall. Go on cultivating your lands,
he tells them, with the utmost assiduity; avail your-
selves of all the recent improvements in agriculture ;
neglect nothing that may tend to increase the means
of your subsistence, and then you will no longer have
cause to regret the downfal of the Protection system.
But the Noble Marquis goes further than this
in the above passage, for he states it as his
deliberate opinion that if there is to be free
trade in one thing, there should be free
trade in another, and that it is an act of injus-
tice in Sir ROBERT PEEL, to make an exception in
favour of corn. May we not, after a declaration like
this, claim the Noble Marquis as a corn-law aboli-
tionist ? He is too manly and straightforward to
support a shuffling system of expediency, merely be-
cause it is sanctioned by the weight of Ministerial
authority ; and seeing what is the right
course to take, we are confidently of opinion that he
will take that course, careless of the frowns
of Sir R. PEEL, and the indignant reproaches of those
two ducal luminaries, RICHMOND and BUCKINGHAM.
Indeed it would not at all surprise us, were he, at an
early period of the ensuing season, to take the chair
at one of the League meetings at Covent-garden,
with Mr. COBDEN cheering him on one side, and Mr.
BRIGHT shouting in sympathetic chorus on the other,
to the infinite delectation of all true free-traders

ment could be obtained from the authorities at home
for the development of a material so indispensable to
our naval greatness, and for which we have so often
been at the mercy, as it were, of the foreign grower
or his Government. Colonial improvement, it seems,
like " kissing," goes "by favour." We are heartily
glad that it seems to have come to the turn of New
Zealand to be saluted at last !

PRINCESS'S THEATRE, OXFORD-STREET.
LESSEE, Mr.J. M. MADDOX.

Paris papers of Sunday have bees received, but we
find little in them interesting to the English reader.
The Revue des Deux Afondes, in adverting to the
proceedings of the forthcoming session, says, the Op-
position will adopt a very moderate tone, and declare
themselves as anxious to be on good terms with Eng-
land as M. GUIZOT himself. This is not:at all probable,
but if the said scheme is founded on fact, what harm
can the Opposition do to the Government ? They
can only oppose M. GulzoT, by departing from the
principlesi on which they pretend to act ; but pre-
tending one thing, and doing another, are not means
likely to give either character or strength to a party.
The Journal des Debate has another article relative
to Spanish affairs, in which it repels charges made
against it by other Ministerial journals. These
charges refer chiefly to attacks made on the New
Reform Bill, and the despotic Government of
CHRISTINA and Co. This organ of the Govern-
ment seems to disapprove of these great changes,
while, at the same time, they are fully sanctioned by
the Court and the Cabinet. This writing on both
sides by the Ministerial journals only confirms the
general belief that the revolution in Spain is of
French manufacture.

THIS EVENING, NOVEMBER 19.
Wlll'be repeated a New Drama, entitled THE PREDICTION,
in which Messrs. W. Lacy, Oxberry, Mrs. Brougham, Miss E.
Stanley, and Mrs. Lacy will perform.

BAZAR Don Csesar, Mr. Wallack ; Charles the &cons , Mr.
Waltsin ; Maritana, Mrs. Stirling; Countess di Rotondo, Mrs.
Fosbroke.

By the " New Zealand" papers last received, our
attention has been powerfully drawn to two subjects
of very dissimilar character, but perhaps of almost
equal interest to that important colony. They re-
late, each of them, to the most remarkable exempli-
fications of our defective colonial policy that can be,
perhaps, adduced both against the last and the pre-
sent Government of her MAJESTY. We have often
lamented the utter want of decision, design, and
energy, which characterised the proceedings of Lord
JOHN RUSSELL, when Colonial Secretary, in dealing
with the question of New Zealand occupation. His
Lordship's halting and tardy recognition of those
possessory rights of sovereignty, which the acts of
Captain COOK on behalf of the British Crown, after
circumnavigating the whole of the islands in 1770,
had as clearly established, as had ever been done in
the case of any other European discovery in the
waters of the Pacific, led to half measures, which
were followed by the usual results of such imperfect
actions of State authority. The course adopted by
her MAJESTY'S Ministers was satisfactory to no party.
A large portion of the public were displeased with
what they considered, on the first announcement of
the arrangements concluded, to be an improvident
and monopolitical bargain with a Joint-Stock Land
Company for its special advantage. The managing
direction of that Company have since loudly pro-
tested against the hard terms exacted of them by her
MAJESTY'S Ministers. The few previously-settled
English residents or proprietors within the limits of
that distant country considered themselves aggrieved
by the purchases of the Company on the one hand,
and the powers assumed and delegated by the Home
Government on the other. It is no part of our busi-
ness to open up any of these questions. The title of
the Crown, in our opinion, was clearly good; and had
it been exercised without hesitation, much of the
evil which has overtaken New Zealand, since the
present Government came into power, would have
been averted. But the Colonial Government which
at present represents: it, seems to be paralysed by
its example. Governor FITZROY is grievously re-
monstrated against in the petition of certain inhabi-
tants of the settlement of Nelson, "for the conduct
pursued by his Excellency in declining to bring
before the constitutional tribunals of the law the
parties charged with the massacre of many of her
MAJESTY'S faithful subjects (at Wairau, in New
Zealand) on the 17th of June, 1843." The peti-
tioners indignantly represent, that whereas the Go-
vernor had subsequently taken a mass of evidence
upon oath, of various credible European witnesses,
implicating especially a Native Chief named "RAu-
PARAIIA" as one of the instigators of, and chief
actors in, the said massacre of two-and-twenty of
their fellow-settlers (including a Commander in her
MAJESTY'S Navy, a retired Captain in her MAJESTY'S
Army, the Police Magistrate and Judge of the
County Court of Nelson district, the Protector of the
Aborigines, the Crown Prosecutor, and the Chief
Magistrate), such Governor had yet, on the 12th of
February last, after landing at Waikanai, on the
North Island, voluntarily addressed an assembly of
several hundred natives, then and there headed by
RAUPARAIIA. That having received from the latter
an account of the origin and manner of the Wairau
massacre, which in most essential particulars was at
variance with the sworn testimony of the European
witnesses referred to, the said Governor, after half an
hour's deliberation, without cross-examining the
Chief or calling further evidence, declared to the
natives and their leader, " that having heard and re-
flected upon their account, and compared it with
that of the white men, he had decided that it was the
misconduct of the English which had brought on the
fight, and hurried the natives into the crime of mur-
dering unarmed men who had surrendered, but
whose deaths, therefore, he would not avenge."
We are warm partisans of a merciful and for-
bearing deportment on the part of civilised men to-
wards their more barbarous and unenlightened fellow-
creatures; and for this generosity, even to some
excess, we naturally look, in all the transactions
which bring savage nations in contact with our gal-
lant and humane countrymen. But where the locali-
ties on which these two conditions of human ex-
istence, the civilised and the unreclaimed, are con-
terminous, as in New Zealand, it is not a mere
principle of policy or expediency, but an essential
condition of protection and even existence for the
former, that the power, the force, the resources, the
combined strength of civilisation, should be palpably
evidenced and vindicated to the senses and appre-
hensions of barbarism. Wherever this object can be
achieved without the sacrifice of life, or even re-
straints upon personal liberty, it is the duty of the
civilised as Christians, as human brethren of a more
intelligent order, to abstain from violence towards the
savage. But the primary instincts of self-preserva-
tion, as well as the duty of all its members to the
social community they belong to, require and justify
a resort to that species of physical vindication we
speak of, whenever the society is menaced with an
infliction of brute force, under the impulse of brute
passion, intent on gratifying its appetite for blood-
We are by no means prepared to consider whether
Governor FITZROY is justified or not in his apparently
unfavourable estimate of the conduct of the settlers.
But we are fully prepared to say, assuming the al-
legations of the Nelson district petition to
be true, that he has been distinctly wrong
in the conduct he has adopted towards
RAUPARAHA and the other natives actually impli-
cated in the massacre of the two-and-twenty settlers
at 'Wairau. He has himself admitted that these
men had been guilty of the crime of mur-
dering unarmed men, fellow - subjects of his

price they closed.

We have received intelligence from Madrid of the
th inst. On the previous Saturday, the 9th, the
Chamber of Deputies began the discussion on the
Reform Bill. A Member, of the name of LATOJA,
commenced the debate, and contended that the Cortes
had no power to amend or alter the Constitution.
He objected also to the period at which the Bill was
brought in, when the minds of men were in a state
of great excitement, and not prepared to consider
with calmness the important changes proposed.
Another speaker defended.the Bill, and after some
speeches of no interest the debate was adjourned till
Monday. On that day a Senor TEJADA. made
a very straightforward speech in favour of absolute
monarchy—a line of argument very acceptable to the
Government. Ile declared his full approbation of
the Bill, took a review of the course of events in
Spain since the death of FERDINAND VII., and de-
clared that all the evils which Spain had suffered
since that period were referable to the prevalence of
revolutionary principles; which, under pretence of
founding a constitutional government, led the country
into anarchy and confusion. He called upon the
Government to restore the nobility and clergy to
their ancient rights and privileges; for Spain, he
said, was a monarchical and religious country, and
neither required nor wished a representative Govern-
ment. Senor MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA followed, but
his speech was cut short by the President, who an-
nounced that the hour of adjournment had arrived.

Lord Saye and Sele, whose death we recently an-
nounced, was the oldest Member of the House of Lords,
of the Whig party, having entered it soon after the death
of his father, Thomas, the tenth Baron, in July, 1780
In common with Lords Clinton. Deere, and the Duke of
Newcastle, he derived his descent from the Lord Saye,
who, with other confederated Barons at Runnimede,
compelled King John to sign Magna Charts, and from
the Viscount Saye and Sele who, in the wars of Charles
1., sided with the Parliamentarians, and was the friend
of Hampden, Fairfax, Denzil, Hollis, and Oliver Crom-
well. Lord Saye and Sele assisted in the ever.lllo3lo-
- struggle for carrying the Reform Bill, and having
for more than forty years uniformly and consistently
voted with the Whig party, was offered an earldom by
the Grey and Melbourne Administrations, of which
offer, however, his Lordship did not avail himself. He
is succeeded in his title and estates by the Honourable
William Eardley Twisleton Fiennes, present and twelfth
Lord Saye and Selo. It is expected that the mortal re-
mains of the departed Nobleman will be deposited in his
ancestral sepulchre at Broughton, on Saturday next.
KINGSLAND AND DALSTON LITERARY AND SCIEN-
TIFIC INSTITUTION.—We noticed, in one of our recent
publications, the intended establishment of a literary
and scientific institution in the above districts, and we
are glad to find that the project is steadily progressing.
Several auxiliary meetings have been held, at all of
which perfect acquiescence in the object, and determina-
tion to forward it, were most unequivocally expressed.
The list of shareholders and members already contains
the names of a great many respectable and influential
inhabitants of the neighbourhood ; but wo regret to see

the neighbourhood, and thus render the property
the more valuable. Ask nine-tenths of those who leave
the district why they leave, their answer will be found,
with few exceptions, because the place is so dull in it-
self, and so far away from all proper places for recrea-
tion. The magistrates, as we have already said, should
consider the great good these institutions produce where-
ever they are established, and surely it must be more
agreeable to their better feelings to endeavour to create
a preventive to vice, rather than to be called upon to
adjudicate on crime ; nor does it seem to us incompatible
with ineompatble
with the sacred calling of a Christian minister to assist
in such an undertaking, for morality is the handmaid to
religion, and ho who lacks the former can never truly
possess the latter. The last of the auxiliary meetings
above alluded to, was held at the Myddleton Arms,
Mvddleton-road, on Thursday, the 14th instant, Mr.
Webster in the chair. Mr. Bingley moved the first re-
solution, which was to the effect that the meeting
pledged itself to use its utmost endeavours to forward
the object in view. Mr. Bingley went through the whole
of the details, and concluded amidst expressions of
much satisfaction. Several other gentlemen spoke; and
it was resolved that the next district meeting should be
held at the Mortimer Arms, Mortimer-road, Do Beativok
Town, on Thursday, the 21st inst.—Morning Advertiser.

The LORD-CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this
case, which came before his Lordship some time since
on exceptions. His Lordship allowed the exceptions.

EX-PARTE VAN SANDAU.
Ills LORDSHIP said that, in the case of Mr. Van
Sandau, which was before him on Saturday, he had
stated, after mentioning the several precedents that
had been referred to, that he would not take upon
himself to decide that the order which had been pro-
nounced was valid, because the subject was under
further inquiry in a court of law. His Lordship had
also stated that his decision was final. Now he ought
further to have stated that the judgment he was
giving was upon an ordinary petition, and not a
special case for the decision of the Court of Review.
His Lordship believed that, by the 37th section of
the Bankrupt Act, no judgment of the Court
of Review could be questioned in the House
of Lords except upon a special case. It was true he
might have sent the matter to the Vice-Chancellor,
in order that he might direct a special case for the
opinion of the Court, but he did not think it neces-
sary. He had mentioned this case in consequence of
some misrepresentations that had gone forth : he had
said nothing disrespectful to the Learned Judge ;
that was the last thing he would do, because he had
for him the most special regard.

THE DUKE OF LEEDS V. EARL AMHERST—THE PIC-
TURE OF TIIE GREAT DUKE OF SCHOMDERG.
Mr. BETHELL replied at some length to-day in this
case, the facts of which we have already given.
The LORD CHANCELLOR postponed his judgment.

VICE-CHANCERY.--(THIS DAY.)
(Before Sir J. K. BRUCE.)
CUMIN(' V. TIIROWER.
The question in this case was the liability of !is
trustee to make good certain sums which had been
dissipated by an alleged abuse of trust on the part of
his co-trustee. His Honour had, on a recent occa-
sion, given his judgment on the main point,
declaring the estate of the trustee, Thrower,
liable for all the sums dissipated by the
co-trustee, Bland. But with respect to two sums of
6001. and 8001. respectively he had had some hesita-
tien as to the order to be made, and on these two
sums his decision had been reserved.
His HONOUR now said that the estate of Thrower
must be liable for the re-payment of these two sums
also in addition to the rest.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
HOWARD V. GOSSETT.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL resumed his argument
in this part-heard case, and contended that, even if
the Court should be against him on the points which
he had submitted on Friday, still they must give
judgment in favour of the defendant, inasmuch as the
defendant was acting merely ministerially in acting
upon that warrant, which, at all events, was a suffi-
cient authority for him, and therefore that the action
could not lie. He, therefore, submitted that upon
this demurrer the Court must give judgment in
favour of the defendant.

Mr. KELLY then replied, and contended, on the
authority of the King v. Elgee, that this Court could
look to the wording of warrants issued, by Courts
of co-ordinate jurisdiction, inasmuch as in that case it
had decided that a warrant issued by the Court of
Bankruptcy, a superior court of record, like
the House of Commons, was bad. He also
quoted the case of Christie v. Unwin, in
which the validity of a warrant issued by the Lord
Chancellor had been questioned. He could not but
regret that during the course of the last century some
of the judges had laid down the law as if the Court
could not interfere even to grant a habeas corpus in
cases where persons had been committed by the
House of Commons, but those dicta of the judges were
contrary to the law, as it had been acted on both
before and since. In the case of Lord Shaftesbury, in
that of Hobhouse, in that of the sheriffs of Middlesex,
this Court had granted a habeas corpus, and had
looked to the warrants of commitment, and because
they held those warrants

:The case was proceeding when we went to press,

BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)

His HoNouß had great difficulty in coming to an
immediate conclusion, as the evidence adduced on both
sides was of so contradictory a character, and therefore
it would be necessary for him, in the exercise of his
duty, to enter at considerable length, and at the
hazard of being somewhat tedious, into the details
of the case. His Honour then dwelt minutely on the
statements of the different witnesses, and concluded
by saying, that in his conscience be believed, that
that these unhappy dissensions were in the
first instance occasioned by Lady Dysart's
own violence, unguarded language, frequently
absenting herself from her husband's roof,
to enjoy the greater indulgences of her father's house,
and one primary cause of these divisions might be
found in the little effort she made to consult his tastes,
his habits, his wishes—he would even say his eccen-
tricities. But he (Dr. Lushington) did not exclude
-the Noble Earl from blame. His language was such
to his wife as no man, even in the most degraded
state of society, would use to the veriest pro-
fligate, and his passions were not kept under
that proper control which was so necessary in a man of
his irritable temperament. Yet again, he said, that
looking over all the evidence, he could see no reason
why Lady Dysart should not return to her duties, and
to the shelter of her husband's roof
The petition was accordingly dismissed.
An appeal was entered against the judgment.

_— —
MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE, and a full Bench of
Magistrates.)
The Second November Sessions commenced this
morning, at the Court-house, Clerkenwell. The
calendar contains the names of fifty-nine prisoners,
although not a fortnight has elapsed since the Court
sat last. Many of the cases were of the most paltry
and trifling nature. One prisoner was committed for
stealing three herrings, another for stealing 31bs. of
potatoes, and a third for stealing a quarter of a pound
of soap.
The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE briefly'addressed
the Grand Jury, and commented upon the recent im-
provement which had been effected in the criminal
law, by which the business of the Old Bailey was so
much expedited. The calendar did not present any
unusual features which rendered it necessary for him
to advert more particularly to them, as although the
calendar was numerically heavy, there were compa-
ratively no serious cases for trial.
THREATENING A POLICE MAGISTRATE.—Mr.
CLARKSON, on behalf of Mr. Rawlinson, the presiding
magistrate of the Marylebone Police-court, applied to
the Bench to have Robert Kingston bound over to
keep the peace towards that gentleman under the
following circumstances :—The Learned Counsel
stated that Kingston was brought before Mr. Raw-
linson on three separate charges of assault, for each
of which he was fined in the penalty of 40s. Having
paid those three fines, he was liberated, but on the
same evening was again apprehended for a riot and
disturbance, and in the morning again brought before
the worthy Magistrate, by whom he was fined 51.,
and ordered to find sureties to keep the peace. In a
day or two after this he called at the Marylebone
Police-court with a heavy whip in his hand, and fol-
lowed by a ferocious bull dog, demanding that the
inspector on duty should point out Mr. Rawlinson to
him, as he (Kingston) was determined to give him a
sound drubbing. He (Mr. Clarkson) trusted, under
all the circumstances of the case, the Court would feel
bound to order the ordinary process of the Court
to issue.

The ASSISTANT-JUDGE inquired if Mr. Kingston
was in custody at present ?
Mr. CLARKSON said he believed he was in Court
now. One of his sureties had refused to remain an-
swerable for him any longer. He was not, therefore,
under sureties now, neither did Inspector Tedman
consider himself at liberty to take him into custody.
The Learned ASSISTANT •JUDGE said if he had
surrendered he was in custody of the Court. He (the
Assistant-Judge) should therefore take care that
Kingston should not leave the Court without enter-
ing into proper sureties, which would effectually pre-
vent injury being inflicted by him upon any person.
Mr. Kingston then sat down before the bar in cus-
tody of one of the officers of the Court.
The prisoner is a remarkable powerful-looking man,
and is well known on the turf, arid in the ring, having
challenged Ben Caurit, who is well known as champion
of England, to a pugilistic encounter.

THE QUEEN AT THE PROSECUTION OF HIS ROYAL
HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK V. GREGERY.
Mr. Woßnswowrn in this case moved for a writ
of habeas corpus to bring up the body of the de-
fendant, who was at present in the custody of the
gaoler of Newgate. The defendant was in custody
on an indictment, and the period of his imprisonment
on that indictment was about to expire. There was a
second indictment against him, to which he pleaded
guilty, and on which the judgment stood over. The
object of the present application was, that he be brought
up on Thursday for judgment on the second indict-
ment; notice to that effect having been given, a habeas
corpus directed to the gaoler being necessary for that
purpose.-.• Application granted.

TIURT V. LEIGH.
In this case, which was tried before the Lord Chief
Baron on Wednesday last, and the verdict returned
for the defendant, Mr. Knowles moved to enter the
verdict for the plaintiff. The action was for work
and labour
for
ourinththe cecoouurrt to seodfelcaisde
last year;
whether one of; and the simple
qthe receipts on which a verdict was given for the de-
fendant was a valid and legal document, inasmuch as
it was not stamped. The account was a running
account, extending over a long period, and the
receipts were for sums paid at various times, that in
question not being stamped. The Learned Counsel
contended that the case came within the Stamp Act,
and that, in accordance with the provisions of that
Act, he was entitled to have the verdict entered for
the plaintiff.
The COURT granted a rule to show cause.

FLANDERS MAIL.
(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)
BRUSSELS, Nov. 16.—The Chambers, in its sitting
to-day, adopted, by a second vote, the project of law
for increasing the salaries of the Members of the
Court of Justice.
The Minister of Finance"presented a project of
law which he introduced with the following observa-
tions :—" Gentlemen—The law of the 21st of
March last for the conversion of the loan of
100,800,000 francs, did not authorise the exchange of
the Bonds at 5 per cent., for Bonds at 4f per cent.
except on Belgium and at Paris. We did not know
at that time what was the amount of those in Eng-
land, but according to the declarations which have
been made up to this day for the conversion, the
amount is already. more than twenty millions of
francs. I have, therefore, judged that, for the inte-
rest of public credit, as well as of the English
holders, it would be advisable to facilitate the ex-
change of those bonds in England. The King has,
therefore, authorised me to present to you a project
of law to that effect."
The Minister then presented a project of law
authorising the exchange at London.
It was referred to the Central Section, which has
to examine the budget of the public debt.

Advices have been received to Sept. 14, from the
Cape of Good Hope. The state of the colony, both
politically and economically speaking, was satisfactory.
The Kafirs on the frontier were quieter, and the leaders
evinced more disposition to act with our troops in check-
ing the thievish propensities of their people. The Governor
had been to the Eastern colony, and a stronger military
force was expected to be in future stationed in the so-
called neutral territory. By virtue of instructions
from Lord Stanley, Natal had been formally
constituted a dependency of the Cape, the
Governor of the latter having full jurisdiction over it,
althought there is a Lieutenant-Governor and a local
executive and judicature appointed. The appearance of
the town of Natal, and the village of Pietermauritzberg,
is represented as having materially improved
since Colonel Somerset arrived with the troops,
and many of the Dutch farmers were anxious to see the
settlement retained by the English. Local improvement
were progressing also in the older colonies, and there
would soon be a road formed from Graham's Town to
the Cape.

THE BRAZILS.
FALMOUTH, MONDAY.—The Penguin packet, Lieu'
tenant Leslie, arrived this morning from the Brazil;
with mails, having sailed from Rio Janeiro 27th of
September, Bahia 11th, and Pernambuco the 18th
October. The following passengers came in her, viz.,
General and Mrs. Pueyrredon and son, Monsieur and
Madame Blanc and son, Monsieur Constantine, Mrs-
Beckenham and child, Mr. Latham, and Mr. Youle ;
and she brings about 20,0001. on freight.
Nothing new had transpired at Buenos Ayres or
Monte Video since the last mail, and the intelligence
from Rio Janeiro, both politically and commercially,
is rather barren.

The day the packet left Rio discounts were at 7 per
cent.; there had been an increased demand for money",
to a partial extent, which had been freely met. The,
Treasury remittances, per Penguin, are understood
to amount to 20,0001., and had been taken at 25k
The Stock-market had continued steady at the de-
parture of the packet, at 721 to ; business brisk.
At Rio the elections were not concluded, but seemed
to be favourable to the present Ministry.
The 'Coffee market had been better supplied, and
more activity had prevailed, whilst the value of su-
perior and first good had improved ; the sales had,
amounted to about 50,000 bags. The arrivals of
sugar were unimportant, and these, as well as the
previous stock, have been taken at 3 dollars and 2
dollars for consumption, and for the southern parts Of
the empire.
The following men-of-war were at Rio—viz., the
Alfred, Dolphin, Crescent, Racer, Champion, and
Swift packet.
The Crane packet left Pernambuco for Bahia on the
12th of October.

THE REV. SYDNEY SMITH.—We are happy to be
able to relieve the numerous friends of the Rev. Sydney
Smith from their fears. The unfavourable symptoms
were those of suppressed gout. The moment the disease
took a definite form he began to get better, and he is no
longer considered in danger. In fact, he already passes
several hours each day in the society of his more inti-
mate acquaintance.
FATAL ACCIDENT orr BLACKFRIARS-BRID4B.'f
Yesterday afternoon, about three o'clock, a lad apps'
rently about fourteen years of age, but at present un-
known, was drowned in the Thames. The tide being
low at the time, the deceased descended the steps at the
north-west side of Blackfriars-bridge, and walked to
the second arch, near to which the Fleet-ditch empties
itself, and where there is a perpendicular fall with about
ten feet depth of water. Into this the lad suddenly
slipped, and instantly disappeared, and the probability is,
that he was carried away by a steam-vessel, which almost
immediately afterwards passed over the spot. The
deceased had under his arm a bundle, which was re-
covered, and consisted of a blue cloth cape, a brown and
white striped jacket, a mackintosh, a linen shirt, a pair
of blue cotton stockings, a white handkerchief, a silk
pattern cotton ditto, and a pair of low shoes. The
articles, no doubt, belonged to the deceased, and from
their description, it would appear, that he was a page or
footboy, or possibly an assistant-waiter at some respec-
table hotel or tavern.
NEW MAIL COACH BETWEEN EDINBURGH AND
NDWCASTLE.—A meeting of the proprietors of the mail
at present running by this route between Edinburgh and
Newcastle, was held in the King's Arms, on Thursday,
for the purpose of making arrangements with regard to
a new mail, which it has been proposed to put upon this
road in place of the one now running by Carlisle. It 15
proposed that the coach shall start from Newcastle at
twelve o'clock at night, reach Berwick at half-past six
in the morning, and after a delay of half an hour, start
at seven, and reach Edinburgh about one o'clock fore-
noon. On returning, the coach will leave Edinburgh at
nine o'clock morning, reach Berwick at half-past two,
and Newcastle at between nine and ten o'clock at night.
The advantages of this arrangement to Berwick and the
other towns on the route need no comment, and we hope
to see it speedily carried into effect.—Berwick Warder.
WINTER ASSIZES.---WESTERN CIRCUIT.—The
fol-
lowing days and places have been appointed by Mr-
Baron Alderson for holding a Special Sessions of Oyer
and Terminer and General Gaol Delivery on the
Western circuit :—Southampton—Monday, Dec. 2, St
the Castle, at Winchester. Somersetshire—Monday,
Dec. 9, at the Castle, at Taunton. Devonshire—Monday,
Dec. 16, at the Castle, at Exeter. City of Exeter—The
same day.
SINGULAR INCIDENT.—OH Thursday last the fol-
lowing singular incident occurred in the churchyard of
New Brentford Church. During the funeral of Mr.
Henry Flower, a boatman on the Grand Junction Canal,
who was amongst the spectators, picked up some bones
which had been turned up out of the grave, and which
proved to be part of the hand of the body of the mother
of Mr. Flower, which bad been in the grave thirty years
previously, on one of the fingers of which was still her
gold wedding ring. The boatman immediately took it
off her finger and pledged it for three shillings. On the
fact becoming known, the boatman was traced to the
Six Bells public-house, where he was spending the
money with some companions, and compelled him to give
up the duplicate, with all the money, except three far-
things. The ring is now in the possession of the Rev.
Mr. Harrison, the vicar.
BeaexavoN.—DßE/ADrUL AND FATAL ACCIDENT.
—On Thursday, the 7th instant, a little boy, the son of
a fireman working at one of the lahymney furnaces, was
playing about the rails, when his foot slipped, and, hor-
rible to relate, he fell into the furnace. His father, with
more affection than prudence, immediately sprung in
after him, in the forlorn hope to save his child, and,
strange to say, he was quick enough to catch and throw
him out, but too late, however, for the boy must almost
instantaneously have died. The father had now ex-
changed situations with his child, and found the greatest
difficulty in extricating himself from his perilous posi-
tion, which he was obliged to do by catching hold of an
iron bar, little less than red hot, and swinging himself
out; but as soon as he bad done so he was senseless. The
poor fellow was carried home, and now lies in a dange-
rous and uncertain state. The furnace had not long
been charged, and consequently was not at its greatest
heat, otherwise escape would have been impossible.--'

IMPROVEMENTS IN HYDE PARK.—It WAS stated
some time since in our paper that the piece of dirty water
in Hyde Park, facing the new gate at Knightsbridge,
called Albert-gate, which formerly flowed from a water-
fall in connexion with and at the east end of the Ser-
pentine River, but which has for a long time been
stagnant owing to a deficiency of water in the Serpentine
to supply the same,: was about to be filled up, for thepurpose of making a road from the new and splendid
entrance mentioned to the ride, extending from 11" Y"(,),
Park-corner to Kensington, and called " Rotten-row.
The water has now been entirely removed, and the
vacuum filled up, and in its place appears a well-gra-
velled road from the new gate alluded to to the ride, being
for equestrians only, as the celebrated ride called Rotten-
row is devoted entirely for the use of equestrians, no car-
riages, except those of the Royal Family, being admitted
within the drive, and the privilege enjoyed by them
exclusively is rarely, if ever, availed of by them. This
new road, in place of the unsightly piece of water, is a_
very great improvement, in addition to its being a vast
convenience to the wealthy inhabitants of the numerous
splendid streets and squares recently formed en 4;r
Marquis of Westminster's estate in Pimlico. A new
grand walk has been formed across the park, fromt.e
Grosvenor-gate, leading from Grosvenor-square to h
small gate opposite the Chinese Exhibition at kreKnights-
bridge, and which is found a great boon to the public,
particularly at this season of the year, when the park
cepting the firm gravel walks, are in such a dirty aed
n
sloppy state.

THE CABINET.—A Cabinet Council is appointed to
meet at three o'clock this afternoon, at the Foreign-
office, Downing-street, at which the whole or most of
the Ministers are expected to attend, Lords Wharn-
cliffe and Stanley, and other members of the Cabinet,
having arrived in town last evening for the purpose of
attending the meeting.

On Friday last a poor woman named Clements,
living at 4, Hunt-street, Milo-end New-town, was safely
delivered of three children, who, with the mother, are
doing well. Her husband is a weaver, and bears an ex-
cellent character. They had five children previously,
and in consequence of the scarcity of work are novv in
most destitute state.
