ANOTHER CLTEFEM FOR AUSTRISTI.-,--One of the most
splendid vessels now on the Australian WWI here is the
'South Carolina; onedf the " Golden Line -of 'Packets." The
South Carolina is w'perfect specimen ofnuvitl architecture,
and though the present is not her first -visit to this port,
few will recognis' eller in her present-"'form. She was
originally built for a,.screw-steamer,andmkie a trip across
the Atlantic about'twelve months ago. On getting hick
to New York she-was altered to a smaing-reasel, and since
then has beaten even-thing that has come alongside her.
She looks zeinarktioly well as a sailing-,vessel, and she
carries tall handsome spars, lightly and-neatly rigged.
She sits renzarlablymell on the waterrthongh she is-not
seen to advantage in the crowded dodk. Her stem' is
straight until near the top; when it rims otit into a sort of
billet figure-head. the has little outside ornament; but
that is compensatedrfor by the b 3, ..metricall form of her
hull. Viewed broathiide on, she has suffiCient show to
make her look Iv-hut-she really is in -the -crater-lively.
The South Carolina:was constructed by Mr. Jabez Wil-
liams, of WEliamiilinrg, New York. Beingintended for a
steamer, every care-was taken in giving %or a proper
" finish" and ayrpurtonances, and her frimessfor carrying
psssengers is not excdlled by any vessel afloat. Her deck
arrangments are miusaaNy compact and Clear of luMber,
having an unbroken -promenade for passengers:23o feet in
length. She is fitted. with two powerful fire-nagines; as a
precaution against aecident. Her cabin -accommodations
are superb, the chief saloon:being upholstevecluiih coloured
woods, in that elegant-and costly style for-which the
American river steamers are so famous. The -state-rooms
and sleeping berths tireia-similar style, and there is one
-very pretty apartment that-will no doubt prove-attractive
to lady visitors,—it is -called-the " bridal chamber." The
'South Carolina is a threeideeker, but she will••carry pas-
,,sengers on the upper deck only, the other portion' being
'appropriated to freiglittfor which fast vessels aretbtaining-
very high rates to Australia just now. Some idea of her
'Size may be formed from' the 'following &mentions :
'Length over all feet ;. bettml7i feet ; depth orgvad 32
ft.vt ; tonnage 1598. She •is commanded by Capt. ruiner,
a;g4mtleman of the highest skill*nd respectability and a
commander who is noted for his landness and attention
to passengers. She is to be dispatched to Melbourne and
Sidney about the end of this month; and Captain Turner
',has so much confidence in the capalfnities of his eraft,that
he•fully anticipates she viral beat even the steamer Great
Britain

REVISAL TO HEAR AN 'ATTON,XEY.—At the pave
'court en Tuesday last, Mr Pope, attorney, who appeared
for, the defence of two youths, named Francis Ellis and
John Davies, charged with 'burglary,ewas refused to. be
hearcliAnder the following drcumstances :—On Mr. Pope
rising to address the bench, Mr. Wybergh requested to
know whether he (Mr. Pope)-had furnished the informa-
tion-to• Captain Greig, which he had prcgAised to furnish,
in reference to an accusation he had. insinuated against a
police-oler, while prosecuting a client a Mr. Pope's for
an infringement of the beer-house act, on :which occasion
he bed asked the officer whetherhe had been convicted of
felony. 'This question he had followed up by several
others, whAh tended directly tolmpeach the character of
the officer. 4'On being questioned at the times to the cir-
cumstances, Mr. Pope had promised toluform Captain
Greig who wes his authority for the accusation, but he
had not -up -to the present time done so, although some
_ _ _

months ha new elapsed.—Mr. Pope said the case was of
daily occurrence in every judicial court in I.)gland.
Magistrate : To. barge an officer with felony ?—,3lr. Pope:
It is a daily.oceurrenee in every court Tor an advocate to
follow his instructions. I did not know the infirmant,
but he was an officer who was on the Lime-street beat.
He had, he said, done all that was in his power in the case.
Magistrate: You must recollect that the eharacter,of an
officer is of too much importance to be dealt lightly with.
If you had any
.such ,instructions, you should have taken
pains to ascertain that there were grounds to .rest them
on.—Mr. Wybergh said lir. Pope had had every oppor-
tunity of explaining.—Mr. Pope : I tried to bring the man
here.—After a remark from Mr. Clough, the magistrate
said that it was a matter ,of too much importance that the
police should be accused of any thing unjustly, and with-
out the slightest grounds, •without being noticed. hi the
present case Mr. Pope had tad an opportunity of bringing
'forward the officer he had named, and, under the circum-
stances, he declined to hear tira in the court. The case
then proceeded, and the prisoners being asked what they
had to say, Mr. Pope rose and said, appear."—The
Magistrate : I cannot hear you.—Mr. Pope : I understand
you, and must make an application elsewhere. The
prisoners were remanded for seven days. When the
prisoners were being taken away Mr. Pope again rose, and,
addressing himself to the magistrate, said, "Probably,
sir, I may .ask for your name."—The Magistrate : My
name is Hamilton.—Mr. Pope : Because it is a most mi.
justifiableinterference as regardsme. Heti= left the court.
A somewhat similar occurrence took place in the Police.
court, on the following day, when Mr. Pope again ap.
peared. In this ease he defended John Banks, charged,
with an assault upon Harriett Ann Hopkins, On pro-
ceeding to state that his client was charged here with an
assault, for which damages were sought to be recovered in
the County Court, he was told by the magistrate that he
could not be heard. Mr. Pope referred Mr. Wybergh to
a section in an act of parliament, which he (Mr. Pope)
said bore upon the point. Mr. Wybe_rgh declined to offer
an opinion; but stated that he had, on a previous day,
advised the magistrate that Mr. Pope could not be heard,
and he would repeat that advice to whatever magistrate
might preside. It was, he said, in consequence of an im-
propriety, on the part of Mr. Pope, that he had felt him-
self called on so to act. Mr. Pope was about to make some
further observations, when Mr. Smith, the magistrate,
said he could not hear him. Mr. Pope : Then I shall
make an application to Mr. Justice Wightman. Mr.
Smith : If I am compelled to hear you, I will do so, but
not otherwise. Mr. Wybergh said he had advised the
magistrates as to the course they should pursue. Mr.
Smith observed that Mr. Pope had made an accusation
against a respectable police officer, and when asked for his
authority he said he could produce it, but had never done
Arr. Pope thought the magistrate would probably
understand him better afterwards ; he considered he was
u°llad to hear him as an advoeate. The magistrate in-
