LIVERPOOL POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

NOT SUPPLYING LIME-JUlCE.—Messrs. Foster, the
owners of the ship Vindicator, were charged with not hav-
ing a supply of lime-juice on board the ship during her
passage hence to Hongkong. The boatswain deposed to
the facts of the case. Mr. Foster pleaded guilty to the
charge; but said that, when the ship went out they had
vinegar on board. Mr. Rushton said that, considering
the circumstances of the case, he would reduce the fine to
the lowest item, being one third. Messrs. Foster were
accordingly tined in the sum of £6 13s. 4d.
DARING OUTRAGE IN VAUXHALL-ROAD.—OR Wed-
nesday, a rough-looking fellow named Jonn Barton, well
known to the police, was brought up charged with attempt-
ing to rob a poor man named Patrick Manley, of his
money. It appeared the complainant was going up Vaux-
hall-road on the previous evening, about seven o'clock,
and had some money in his hand, with which he was about
to purchase bread, when the prisoner and another man
made an attack upon him, knocked him down, and en-
deavoured to hold his mouth, to prevent him giving an
alarm. In consequence of some parties coining up, the
two men ran off without accomplishing their purpose.
They were pursued, but only one of them, the prisoner,
was taken into custody. It appeared that several robber-
ies of a similar character have taken place lately in the
same neighbourhood. The prisoner was committed to
gaol for three months.
CHARGE OF HAVING SHORT PROVISIONS.—A COM.
plaint was heard against Captain Robinson, of the ship
Vindicator. George Thompson, the cook on board, de-
posed, that he sailed in the above vessel, on the 10th Fe-
bruary, 1846, for Hongkong and Shanghae. During the
whole passage out they had had plenty of provisions on
board, also when they were at China. They were four
months on the passage, and during two months and three
days of the time they were short of peas and flour. There
was plenty of bread on board during the whole passage
out and home. On referring to the articles of the ship, it
was found not to mention either flour or peas. The com-
plainant said, that, when the captain read the articles over
to them in the cabin, he also mentioned flour. Mr. Rush-
ton said, that it was not a usual thing for these things to
be mentioned in the ship's articles, and accordingly he
would acquit the captain from the charge.
DISPUTE ABOUT A SEAMAN'S WAGES.—At the police-
court, on Tuesday, Captain Lawson, of the California,
appeared under a summons granted at the instance of
William Brown, a seaman, to recover the sum of £4,
alleged to be due to the complainant for services. It
appeared that the complainant had been engaged at
St. John's, New Brunswick, as a seaman, with £4 10s.
advance to go to Liverpool, thence to British America
and back to St. John's ; but if the captain discharged him
in England, he was to be entitled to £5. He stated, that
upon his arrival in Liverpool he was discharged, and the
captain refused to give him his certificate of discharge
because he demanded the £4 extra pay. It appeared,
from the ship's articles, that there was some difference
between the terms as stated by the complainant and the
articles as they were in writing ; consequently, the com-
plainant was told that he must lay another information if
lie thought proper. Another information was also beard
against Captain Small upon the complaint of a seaman,
who, it turned out, had deserted the ship at St. John's
after having got the advance. This information was dis-
missed.

It will be remembered, that some time ago a policeman
was shot in Hotham-street Bridewell, by a young man in
custody, but who was acquitted on the ground of there
being no malice. The poor wounded man never recovered,
and we regret to hear, died on Friday, from the effects
of the wound.

THE PROPOSED HARBOUR OF REFUGE, AND
'CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY COM-
PANY'S PIER AND HARBOUR, AT HOLY-
HEAD.

We last week noticed the extraordinary proposition for
the necessary legal powers, to be granted to a private
railway company, to construct " a harbour of refuge," for
the vessels passing Holyhead. The Company are
pushing with all the precipitancy which money, and other
means, can effect, to construct a " Safety Harbour," (so
termed by them,) in Holyhead Bay ; for the good of the
public, as they aver; but, in reality, for their own pur-
poses ;—a harbour, in fact, the only safe or good portion
of which they propose to be for their own private use and
revenue, excluding even her Majesty's ships. We enter-
tain no objection whatever to the formation of a real
harbour of refuge at Holyhead. But the exposed position
and other difficulties of the locality, under certain gales
of wind, render any proposition to effect that object almost
hopeless of accomplishment for the public good ; unless
the scheme were put into the hands and management of
some of the first scientific and nautical men of the age.
Least of all should we approve of the plan laid down
and advocated by, the agents of the railway company
named,—a plan which would involve immense cost to the
public, for the mere benefit of a comparatively few indi-
viduals ; and which, moreover, would not, were it carried
out to its fullest proposed extent, benefit themselves.
We expect to be enabled to show, to those of our read-
ers who interest themselves in such matters, that the
position
We this day furnish, gratuitously, with general interests.

posed by the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company. '
A glance at this scheme, in conjunction with the marginal
references, will enable our nautical readers, at least, to
judge for themselves. To others, some explanation is
requisite. It was fortunate for the public, and especially
for those whose pursuits require them to pass between
this town or North Wales, and the " sister isle," that
Mr. C. W. Williams, of the City of Dublin Steam Packet
Company, happened to learn that a projectso preposter-
ous was, almost silently, working its way in Parliament
by the " locomotive" influence of the aforesaid company ;
and, by proceeding to London, happily succeeded in post-
poning the second reading of the bill for a fortnight.
The simple fact is, that the Chester and Holyhead
Railway Company—having Holyhead for their western
or sea terminus, are pushing to have not only the
sole part or portion of the proposed harbour, which offers
any real degree of safety to vessels during gales, for their
own exclusive use, but urge also to be the exclusive pro-
viders of steamers for the passenger and other traffic, be-
tween Holyhead and Dublin ; thus wishing to become
traffickers by sea as well as by land ; in fine;to usurp a
monopoly which their own plan shows them to be quite
incompetent to accomplish. There is an old saying
amongst school-lads. " Ne sutor ulti‘n crepidam," and
such are the stretches recently attempted by some of our
" railway companies" with their accumulations of
wealth—that they appear to be wishful to exhibit their
new fledged skill on the sea, though they have had many
disasters to answer for on their land operations. we in-
cline not to disparage the character of railway companies ;
but we must, in candour, say that the voyage by rail, and
by. sea, are so distinctly appertaining to two pro-
feSsions, which cannot be conjoint with advantage to
the public, that the proposition of the Chester and
Holyhead Railway Company to become " sailors," as
well as " tailors,' (for aught we know;) is most prepos-
terous, and, we repeat, impertinent. They propose to
give £200,000 towards the expense of constructing the
" harbour of refuge;" but, as Mr. Williams truly states,
" they will contribute not a farthing towards it, the sum
stated being to be expended in objects intended exclu-
sively to benefit the said company, and not only foreign
to the purposes of the asylum harbour, but absolutely in-
jurious to its value and efficiency ; to such an extent, in-
deed, as virtually to deprive it of eny claim to the charac-
ter of ' safety.'' Eight hundred thousand pounds (or,
in plain words, a million—taking such estimates into tic-
count) is sought for by this company, on the plea of public
safety and convenience ; but out of this (we quote the
Language of the proposed act):` the said company shall in

,oe.o t", •

no case exceed the sum of two hundred thousand
pounds." It is also laid down that the said company
shall have and enjoy the exclusive use of the inner harbour,
and to charge what they think fit for any accommodation
they may be pleased to afford to strangers who may dare
(we suppose) to enter it ; and, (monstrous proposition!)
to have the exclusive right of all the passenger and goods'
accommodation and transit between,this country and Ire-
land. Mr. Williams's statement clearly shows that the
government have been, somehow- or other, induced to
agree or promise to spend a million on a harbour of refuge
for " the public" at Holyhead; that the plan of such
harbour, cunningly introduced in. high quarters by the
company, is about to be adopted ; and that such plan will
benefit no one beyond the said company, and not even
Themselves, if, indeed, it should be completed to their wish.
This company have not only the peculiar condescension
to offer a sum of £200,000 in the first instance, towards
the construction of a harbour (suitable only for their own
purposes), which will cost a million,; but they have the
audacity to propose the power to raise £300,000 " addi-
tional" hereafter, to enable them to monopolise, as far
as they can, the steam-boat traffic between this country
and Ireland.

We now direct the attention of our•readers to the typo-
graphical plan of the proposed harbour.
It will be observed that this proposed harbour is (or to
be) about due north of the present harbour and town of
Holyhead. On the south east corner of the proposed en-
closure, or refuge harbour, is defined " The Railway Com-
pany's Inner Harbour," and a snug berth they have cho-
sen for themselves ! The whole area. of the harbour to be
" allowed" for the use of the public, when reduced from
its tortuosities to something like an oblong square, may
be about 4850 feet in length, and 3100 in width. An im-
mense and necessarily most costly breakwater is on the
north side, as a main protection. To, meet this, so as to
form the gateway of the enclosure, is to be run out ano-
ther pier—" the eastern," lying from the direction of the
Royal Dock yard about north. The width of the entrance
thus to be formed between the two points stated is about
800 feet.
The only accommodation in qgay-room which the rail-
way proposes to dedicate to the public of all England and
Ireland, is the minute wall from C to D, only 500 feet in
length, outside of their own " inner harbour," and so
much exposed to north or north-west winds that, except-
ing in calms, it would be utterly useless and, if useful at
all, only for a very few vessels. It is but giving an inch
of quay-room in gratitude for the miles which the railway
company expect to obtain for• themselves.
Even with respect to the " inner harbour," proposed
for their own exclusive gain, let any nautical man, who
has a knowledge of the rocky and exposed locality, look
at the entrance of this harbour, (between the two break-
waters,) and slightly study the difficulties to be encoun-
tered by even a powerful steamer in a gale, in running in.
She would have, with a N.E. wind, to round the west
point of the " east" breakwater so rapidly, that the pro-
bability would be that, with the force of the sea against
her stern on entering, she would be smashed against the
rocks or the walls. The entrance to this inner harbour
is but about 400 feet in width, and there is " a tongue,"
or prolongation of the company's pier, running in an
E.N.E. direction, which, from the impingement of the
sea upon it in north-easterly, and even other gales, will
increase the seaway, and endanger all the shipping in what
the railway company and (unhappily) the government
choose to call, or consider,—the General " Harbour of
Refuge at Holyhead."
We would fain drop our anchor within the haven which
the Railway Company have chalked out for " the public ;"
but we find it so questionable a holding ground, that we
shall drop neither our anchor nor our pen. It will be ob-
served, from our Plan, that there are rocks in almost
every shoreward point of this assumed fine public har-
bour. The south shore is particularly dangerous. The
small public quay, assigned for the use of all her Majes-
ty's subjects by the generous condescension of the Com-
pany, will be completely exposed, and, excepting in calm
weather, unavailable. Looking from the N.W. curve of
our plan, and employing the scale, it will be found that
any wind, from almost any westwardly point, and parti-
cularly from due N. to West will throw a strong sea-way
against the quay—C to D.—The average distance or
space of water from the weather side, in the direction
stated is 3,700 feet, and it can be well imagined what a
force of wave would be thrown up against this small un-
protected quay on any occasion of even a moderate blow.
The Company wish to make themselves quite safe, within
the inner side of the wall. They have been advised as to
the protected side of the hedge.
The whole project is an attempt on the part of private
and grasping individuals to obtain a large share, in addi-
tion to their railway profits, of the steam-carrying trade
between this port and Ireland. They are wide awake, no
doubt : and so are we. They have considered that the
running of steamers of their own from Holyhead to Ire-
land, in conjunction with their railway,—and having the
exclusive right and use of their proposed harbour, would
enable them to save that amount of dock-dues, pilotage,
lights, &c., which are rather grievously imposed upon
our present steam-ship proprietors. We are not, in
the abstract, favourable to monopoly of any kind ; but
though the City of Dublin Steam Company have enjoyed
a monopoly, or nearly so, of the carrying trade between
this port and Ireland for upwards of half a century, we
cannot but admit that they have deserved it, not only from
their having been the first to mature steam navigation in
our locality, and since, on the wide ocean, but the efficiency
of their vessels, their excellent accommodations, and their
moderate scale of fares. The average passages, hence to
Dublin or back, of their mail boats and cattle vessels, is
ll.i.hours, which is great going, considering the nature of
the navigat ion, and the immense tonnage of goods, &c., con-
veyed to and fro. The fares in the cattle vessels (which
have all elegant cabins, &c.) is but 10s. for first-class pas-
sengers, for deck or steerage passengers only 2s. This
company paid in harbour, light, and pilotage dues, last
year, no less than £7OOO.

- Can the Chester and Holyhead Railway convey parties
between this town and Dublin at rates so low ? We ima-
gine not. The only difference, in time, from London to
Dublin, would be about two hours, and by railway to
Holyhead the cost must be greater.

COLONEL GAWLER'S GOVERNMENT OF
SOUTH AUSTRALIA.
(From the South Australian News)
We have a duty to discharge, in reference to Colonel
Gawler and his administration of affairs in South Aus-
tralia, that cannot with justice be further postponed. We
have hitherto felt disinclined to enter upon the considera-
tion of this question, as it does not relate to the imme-
diate interests of the colony, and particularly as the
colonel, doubtless for good reasons, has appeared until
lately somewhat to avoid its discussion. But the time
has now arrived when an inquiry into the causes and con-
sequences of his removal may not only be interesting, but
really useful to those who would examine the future
prospects of the colony in the light of its past history ;
while the varioas communications from him in this and
other public journals, for the purpose, as we think, of
exciting criticism, lead us to believe. that the question
cannow in every respect be considered fearlessly and dis-
passionately-.
Proceeding, then, in this spirit; we shall take a cursory
glance at the early history of the colony—the state in
which Colonel Gawler found it on taking the reins of go-
vernment—and the measures which his position rendered
imperatively necessary. Lenient as should be the judg-
ment pronounced upon the steps taken for the establish-
ment of a colony, separated from all but the most distant
communication with the mother country, and founded on.
a system entirely new, honesty obliges us to state, that
the Executive Government in this country displayed in
many of its proceedings a certain degree of weakness and
inefficiency. How far this may have tended to embarrass
Governor Hindmarsh, in the exectgion of his duty, is
now unnecessary to enquire : certain it is, that during his
administration, either from an incompetency on his 'part.
or from the indefinite nature of his instructions, little was,
done morally, politically, or religiously. The surveys,
too, instead cf being vigorously proceeded with, were
almost entirely suspended; and although the town-land*
were allotted, yet scarcely anythiter was done to locate the
emigrants in the country districts,' and nothing what-
, ever to encourage agricultural operations. The, safety
of the province was also endangered by the absence of any
protecting force, either police or military ; whereas, in a
colony situated so near the penal settlements, such a force
was indispensably necessary for the protection of life and
property. Again, the anomalous nature of Capt. Hind--
marsh's position in no way improved matters. He, as the
representative of the sovereign, received his appointment
from the home government, to whom he considered him-
self responsible ; while the resident commissioner, who
was certainly an inferior officer, the nominee and recog-
nised agent of the colonization commissioners, asserted.
in many respects, an equality with him, and divided the
powers of control. Such an impolitic arrangement had
the effect of creating financial disorder, and causing un-
certainty among the subordinate officers. Indeed, the
worst feature of Governor Hindmarsh's administration
was the differences between himself and the other offi-
cials ; the resident commissioner felt himself independent
of the government, and at liberty to act as his own notions
of duty directed ; the surveyor-general, an excellent and
efficient officer, had doubts as to who was his superior;
and those who occupied inferior posts were either ranged
with one or other of the contending powers, or reaping
the spoils such discords placed within their reach. To
this insubordination may be traced almost all the difficul-
ties of Captain Hindmarsh ; for in governments as in less
important matters, co-operation is the very essence of
success, and disagreement the element of confusion.
Such, in a few words, was the position of affairs, when
Colonel Gawler received the appointment, combining in
his own person the offices of Governor and Resident Com-
missioner. It demanded no ordinary mental or physical
power to contend with the difficulties we have described;
and however clear his instructions, or ample his authority.
his chance of success depended fully as much upon his
personal qualifications, as upon the powers he might be
invested with. An impartial examination of the facts of
the case will, we think, shew, that many, if not all the
errors committed under the administration of his prede-
cessor, were corrected by him, and the colony placed upon
a substantial basis.

The means by which this was effected will form a dis-
tinct subject for inquiry : our purpose will be answered if
it can be shown that such were the beneficial results of
his policy. The most important object, in the first
instance, was to promote the occupation of the country
districts by the colonists, and to provide a sufficient.
supply of land to meet the demand of the 'holders of these
orders which were granted in London, and transmitted in
rapid succession to the colony. It will be remembered
that before this time little or no progress had been made
in the surveys of land beyond the town, where the great
bulk of the emigrants wasted their time and means in
ruinous speculation, while waiting for their rural lands.
Colonel Gawler, immediately after his arrival, accelerated.
the surveys by every means in his power, not only at .
great inconvenience to himself, but under circumstances
the most trying and disheartening. The obstacles he had
to contend against may, in some measure, be estimated,
when it is mentioned that the surveyor-general had re-
signed through ill health ; that his resignation had been
followed by that of all his assistants ; and that the only
available means for meeting the emergency consisted of
one young draughtsman and a retired corporal of the
sappers and miners. By great exertion, however. the
staff was re-organised ; and between the date of Colonel
Gawler's arrival, on the 13th of October, 1838, and the
30th of June, 1840, there were, according to official state-
ments, no less than 359,975 acres of rural land surveyed,
besides thirty-six special surveys of 4000 acres each.
Before his departure, in the early part of 1841, all the
immediate demands were satisfied ; in fact, sufficient land
was surveyed for a population two or three times as large ;
and the "South Australian Alrnanack " for 1841 (a re-
cognised authority on statistics), states that even to the
end of the previous year the lanai selected for agricultural
purposes. equalled 155,128 acres,—a proof of. the rapid
progress of the surveys, and of the measures then in con-
templation for the cultivation of the land. " The speed, in
fact, that characterised these surveys was absolutely
necessary. The demands for rural lands were immediately
answered, and agricultural pursuits commenced, whicl4
under the circumstances, triumphantly proved the capa—
bility of the soil to supply the wants of the colony. In
c)rroboration of this, the authority we have just quoted
from asserts that up to the end of 1840 there had been.
crops of various kinds produced from 2823 acres ; that the
stock in the colony amounted to 16,1(-)0 ; and that the
sheep were estimated at 200,160. These facts pro c e hew
much had !tl done within little more than two years ;
yet they a only a portion of the results of Colonel
Gawler's measures for placing the colony on a per-
manent foundation. Similar activity was shown in pro-
viding a police force. At a comparatively early date
after his arrival there was a body of police fit for any
service, and we have abundant testimony, that in efficiency
and general appearance, a finer corps could not have been
obtained. There can be no question as to its necessity;
perhaps it might have been rendered less expensive : per-
haps too the settlers might have united,for self-protection.
To this latter course we should have had decided objec-
tions, although the opinion was frequently advanced dur-
ing the parliamentary enquiry. South Australia, unlike
our other distant settlements, was left unprovided with a
military force ; and when it is remembered that in several
instances the overland travellers, with their stock and
sheep, were attacked by the aborigines ; the farms and
out-stations left entirely at their mercy ; with a popula-
lation contiguous to a convict-colony, the escaped crimi-
nals often disturbing the peace and security of the place,
and disorderly sailors mixing with the quiet and well-dis-
posed ;—when these circumstances are called to mind,
there can be no doubt as to the absolute necessity of a
strong and well-organised police, especially in the early
history of the settlement, and the culpability that would
have attached to a governor, who neglected on account
of expense, this necessary precaution for the safety of
those committed to his charge. In other respects Colonel
Gawler displayed equal talent, for not only were the,differ-
ences between the subordinate officers harmoniously ar-
ranged, but generally they were placed in a position to
render full and active support to the government. The
same good feeling was displayed in almost all cases by the
colonists ; there was on their part an undoubted loyalty
to the sovereign—respect and good-will towards her rep-
resentative—peace and industry among. them Selves and
an earnest desire to promote any measure that had for
its object the well-being of the community. In fact, so
popular was Colonel Gawler, and so highly was his policy
appreciated, that he obtained for himself the title of the
Father of the Colony :" richly deserved, as we think,
for many reasons, and the more singular as governors are
seldom regarded very affectionately in colonies where all
is excitement and competition.
- Thus, then, were the early errors respecting the colony
retrieved. The personal qualities of the governor, his
energy of thought and action, the enthusiasm with which
he worked, and the spirit he imparted to others, must not
be overlooked ; they contributed as much to the success
as did the wisdom and prudence of his measures. But
through his instrumentality more even than this was ac-
complished ; and the account would be incomplete were
we to omit stating, that under his government plans were
adopted that improved Adelaide and its port, public offices
were erected, assistance given for the construction of
wharfs, communication both external and internal facili-
. tated, expeditions sent out for exploring the interior, and
so generally was his example followed that the city quickly
assumed, in many of its streets and terraces, the appear-
ance of some of our second-rate provincial towns, with
good stone or brick buildings, and a taste and finish in
every respect creditable. The enormous influx of popu-
lation and property during his administration, tended to
heighten rather than lessen the necessity of exertion. The
population increased from 5000 to 15,000; the shipping,
in the export and import trade, at the end of the year
1840, including, of course, arrivals from England, em-
ployed 200 vessels ; and the property in the export trade
alone for that year amounted to £60,000. Great efforts
were necessary to meet all this ; that is, if governments
are responsible for the comfort of a people ; for it is one
thing to look on and allow matters to adjust themselves,
as some would have done, and another to fulfil the higher
duty of a paternal governor—lessen the inconvenience of
the emigrants—care for their wants on arrival—provide the
comforts of civilised life—and in a comparative wilderness
establish order, advance commerce, and bring together the-
means for moral and spiritual culture. These were the ob-
jects Col. Gawler had in view; in fact he admitted the neces-
sity of something more than-expatriation, and with wisdom,
and forethought followed that system of colonization which
has been advocated with so much ability by Mr.
es
Buller and others. Colonization, carried out in this I!s
truest and nobleit sense, must always be succac.s
